|

|
|
<div><p>An <dfn class="term">authorized program analysis report</dfn> (APAR) is an
|
||
|
|
IBM-supplied program that allows you to create a diskette file or a tape file
|
||
|
|
that contains information from your system to help software service representatives
|
||
|
|
to correct programming problems.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>This topic also includes details on using the APAR command.</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="p">The APAR procedure creates one or more diskette files or tape files that
|
||
|
|
contain information about the following areas: <ul><li>Control storage dump area. This area is control-block storage that is
|
||
|
|
used by the Licensed Internal Code.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Input/output controller storage dump area.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The system work area (if you are not running the APAR procedure
|
||
|
|
during IPL after a system dump), including the following information: <ul><li>The system configuration</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The disk Volume Table of Contents (VTOC)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The #SYSWORK index</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The trace work area</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The security work area</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The program temporary fix (PTF) work area</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The diskette VTOC</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The volume label</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The IPL bootstrap</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>PTF logs for the IBM<sup>®</sup> licensed program library and system library.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The system service log.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The disk trace files. If you do not run the APAR procedure during startup,
|
||
|
|
and you do not copy a task dump, then the system displays a trace file prompt
|
||
|
|
and you can select up to 16 trace files to copy.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Microcode tables</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Task dump file (optional)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The history file</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The spooled file (optional)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The job queue (optional)</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>The message file (optional)</li>
|

<li>The product-level data file</li>

</ul>

|

|
|
<p>The APAR procedure can copy a specified load member to a file named APARLOAD,
|
||
|
|
a specified source member to a file named APARSRCE, or a specified procedure
|
||
|
|
member to a file named APARPROC which can be saved to diskette or tape. When
|
||
|
|
the APAR procedure begins running, you can select the spooled file, job queue,
|
||
|
|
message file, and user file index that the system will copy. Most of the data
|
||
|
|
areas that are copied can be displayed using the DUMP procedure.</p>
