my production cics produces short on storage above 16MB.
but i can't see the system dump.because i saw in system log
as follows:
"system dump WAS SUPPRESSED BY THE GLOBAL SYSTEM DUMP SUPPRESSION".
who can know how to make system dump not be SUPPRESSED?

Talk to your CICS systems support person -- they should be able to set it up to allow one dump and then suppress the rest.

If your production cics produces short on storage, you got
other problems besides dump suppression.

dump suppression is normally on to prevent SYSTEM stalls
and potential systems crashes.

I doubt your systems support will turn off dump suppression
in a production region.[/quote]

Get a STAT run to determine which storage pool is having the problem. I'm surprised the CICS systems programmer is not already investigating why the S-O-S is occurring; since these conditions can have severe repercussions to both the region and the entire system, I investigate them very thoroughly when I see one. What is the task causing the S-O-S doing?
