<p>The Dump Device (QTADMPDV) API collects information for your IBM service
representative. This API should be used immediately after a suspected device
and/or tape management system failure. If the API is not used immediately,
other device operations may cause the flight recorders to wrap, which could
result in lost information. A problem identifier will be created and an APAR
library will be generated similar to the Save APAR Data (SAVAPARDTA) command.
To save the APAR library, use Work with Problem (WRKPRB) command. Choose the
option to work with the problem and then the option to save the APAR library.
If an existing problem identifier is passed to this API, then the spooled files
generated will be logged against that problem identifier and no new problem
identifier will be generated.</p>
<p>The Dump Device API currently supports the following device types:</p>
<ul>
<li>Tape (TAP) devices</li>
<li>Tape media library (TAPMLB) devices</li>
<li>Optical (OPT) devices</li>
<li>Optical media library (OPTMLB) devices</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Note:</strong> The information provided in and the number of spooled
files may change at anytime. The information provided is intended for problem
determination.</p>
<p>The Dump Device (QTADMPDV) API dumps the following information for tape or tape media library devices, into spooled files:</p>
<ul>
<li><img src="delta.gif" alt="Start of change">
Dump of the device description for the device specified in the
parameter that is passed to the program. </li>
<li>Device description details of the device.</li>
<li>Device capabilities (QTARDCAP output).</li>
<li>QTARDINF API output.</li>
<li>Licensed Internal Code tape flight recorders.</li>
<li>IOP trace for the device.</li>
<li>QSYSOPR message queue.</li>
<li>Message queue for the user/device doing the QTADMPDV call.</li>
<li>Licensed Internal Code logs from the last 24 hours.</li>
<li>Product Activity Logs from the last 24 hours.</li>
<li>The PTF list.</li>
<li>A Work with Configuration Status (WRKCFGSTS) listing.</li>
<li>Media and Storage Extensions (MSE) flight recorder. </li>
<li>The history log (QHST).</li>
<li>QTAPARB job log and display job (DSPJOB) information.</li>
<li>Job logs and display jobs (DSPJOB) of the active jobs that have used the device as indicated in the
flight recorder data.</li>
<li>The job log and display job (DSPJOB) of the job that is processing this API.</li>
<li>The Media library inventory information and display file description (DSPFD).</li>
<li>The Media library category information and display file description (DSPFD).</li>
<li>The Media library filter information and display file description (DSPFD).</li>
<li>The Display Hardware Resources output (DSPHDWRSC).</li>
<li>QTAHRSRV flight recorders.</li>
<li>The virtual tape information area.</li>
<li>The problem log summary. </li>
<li>Communication information that is associated with the media library device.
This includes the line, controller, and device descriptions.<img src="deltaend.gif" alt="End of change"></li>
</ul>
<p>Note that this API will generate multiple spooled files that may get large
depending upon the job logs that are being printed and the size of the other
device information. Submitting the call to batch may be used if system
performance is a concern. That is, if the API is called from the system console
at high priority, it may degrade performance on other critical processing.
Since many and potentially large spooled files may be generated, ensure that
there is enough system storage available to handle the request.</p>
