9:15 AM Zen CMS Dump Reading or
Enlightenment Wrighting Dumpscan Macros
Fredrick J Hitzman of the Information Builders VM
FOCUS Development Team will "rant and rave" about
whatever is on his mind but mostly about what he calls
the ZEN of CMS Dump Reading.
Fred has been with Information Builders for over 9 years
and worked with VM since 1982. He has spoken at SHARE,
MVMUA, and the VM Workshop.
10:15 AM Break
10:30 AM IBM's VM Dump Tool
The speaker is Tom DeForest from CP Development in the
VM organization of IBM in Endicott NY.
With VM Ver 3, Rel 1.0 and changes to support 64-bit
architecture, the VM Dump Tool was introduced as the
replacement for DVF for reading CP abend and
stand-alone dumps. The VM Dump Tool has nearly
all the features that DVF had, updated for 64-bits,
with a number of powerful new commands and macros to
ferret out and format new information from a dump.
This session will provide an introduction to the
VM Dump Tool with information about its history,
features, a simple case study of a PRG005 dump,
a number of examples on BLOCK and TRACE, and a
look at a simple example macro.
He has worked in VM for the bulk of his 30+ year career.
For the last 10 years, his focus has been on debugging
problems in CP, reading dumps, and dump reading tools.
