SYSDUMP

The SYSDUMP command forces a System Dump to be initiated immediately regardless of the TRAPDUMP settings.

Warning:

The initiation of a System Dump causes an immediate termination of the system without any shutdown. No file system shutdown is performed. The system behaves as if a fatal crash has occurred thus under rare circumstances data can be lost.

Syntax.

     SYSDUMP [/NOPROMPT]

Parameters

• NOPROMPT
  The user will not be prompted for a confirmation to preceed with initiating a system dump. The default behaviour is to prompt for confirmation with following message:

            "Do you want to force a system dump? (Y/N)"
  
  

  Remarks

  The SYSDUMP command may be used from within a CMD file to automate the creation of a system dump.
