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 7-5 “Filter
Sets” 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. See Table 7-1 “General
Options” for a description
of general options. Table 7-1 General

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 “NMS Error Messages” of this manual. |
