Managing and printing jobs from the Tape Client

Starting and ending tape dump sessions

To print a dump of an offline job that you wish to troubleshoot, follow these steps:

1.Specify the desired JDE and the DUMP JDL on the Tape Client window at the controller. (The DUMP JDL, which was loaded on your system at installation, specifies the VOLUME HOST=DUMP command and carious JDEs for different types of hosts.)

2.Change the properties of the queue that was specified for the job for which you are printing the dump, as follows:

a.On the Queue Manager window, double-click the name of the queue that was specified for the tape job, to open the Properties window for that queue.

b.Click the Properties tab, and select Spooling in the Input group box.

c.Click the Output tab, and select Head-to-Toein the Sides Imaged group box, and ASCII in the Format field.

d.Click the ASCII tab, and select the following:

•Font size

•Landscape orientation

(For further information on procedures for setting up a queue, click Help on the Queue Manager window.)

3.Run the job that you want to troubleshoot.

4.Terminate the dump session by clicking End on the Tape Client window.

5.Restore the original settings to the queue, or set up a separate dump queue to avoid constant modifications.

For an overview of the content of a tape dump, refer to “Offline dump format,” in the “Overview” chapter of this guide.
