Formatting Options
NMDUMP allows you to modify formatting options for specified subsystem
IDs. There are three ways to change the formatting menu options.
* Most options toggle between two possible values, like YES or NO
and ON or OFF.
* Some require you to enter an option number which then displays an
additional menu and prompt.
* Several options prompt you to enter the numbers of certain items.
The following tables show the options for logging and tracing. Some
logging and tracing options also have filters you can specify. Table 7-4
shows these filters.
You may type // at any of the main NMDUMP prompts to exit the program.
If NMDUMP is displaying a subsystem menu, you must press [RETURN] to exit
the menu and return to the main NMDUMP prompt before typing // to exit
the program.
You may also type "Help" at any of the main NMDUMP prompts for help text.
Link Subsystem Formatting
The link manager subsystem does not call any menus. NMDUMP formats
logging messages only. The first line labels the error as a link manager
error, and shows whether it is fatal or non-fatal. The next line
contains the time and date of the event. This line is followed by the
log message, the requestor ID, the link name, and the logical device
(LDEV) of the link.
The requestor ID is for internal use only. Any underlying errors are
reported below the LDEV field. Many messages correspond to NMERR
messages that are documented in Appendix A of this manual.
