Hi friends
I 'm confused about the content of the DUMP DATASET and TRACE DATASET.
How I can related to them together?
What is deference between these contents?
And what is the common between themes?
Thanks. |

Dumps and traces are both used in debugging problems. However, their basic nature is very different -- a dump is a point-in-time snapshot of the system (hopefully at or near the time of an ABEND) whereas a trace is a time-based listing of commands (instructions) issued. Many dumps include some trace information since it can be helpful to know what was happening before the dump occurred. |

I read this in one of the CICS manuals, and don't understand the distinction:
Quote: |
Formatting and interpreting trace entries
The internal trace table can be formatted in one of two ways:
1-From a CICSĀ® system dump, using the CICS print dump exit, DFHPD710.
2-From a transaction dump, using the CICS dump utility program, DFHDU710.

Quote'd. Also, please don't use sizes and colours to draw attention to a particular point you want to make. Oh, wait.. |

The difference is that a CICS System Dump is a dump of the CIC address space whereas a transaction dump is a dump of just the storage related to a CICS transaction - a much smaller beast.
