We recently converted from our mainframe to a microfocus environment. The guy that set the region up left and I trying to figure it out.  We are trying to get cics abends to create an core dump so it can be used in debug.  We have set the config options and pct options that the manuals tell us to but we are still getting dump output.  What exactly am I suppossed to be looking for to make sure all options ar set up right.

Hi,

What version of Enterprise Server are you using, and are you using 64 bit?

Kind regards,

Torkel

Ok, I would assume 2.2.2 and a hotfix. Are you referring to hot fix #6? I would recommend to contact customer care with this issue. The reason for me asking was that I know there was an issue in the 64 bit version with core dump a while back.

Kind regards,

Torkel

What have you set you environmental variable COBCONFIG_=<path-to-config-file>

to? This should point to a file, and could you please post the contents of that configuration file?

Kind regards,

Torkel

COBCONFIG=$AFIPROD\\ES\\PASPROD\\CONFIG\\cob.cfg

set core_filename="C:/AFI_Mainframe/Production/ES/DUMPS/core_%p_%d_%t"

set core_on_error=131

Since this looks like a Windows install, you might want to try and change the variable to read:

COBCONFIG_=$AFIPROD\\ES\\PASPROD\\CONFIG\\cob.cfg (Yes - with a trailing underscore).

Kind regards,

Thank you for your help and patience.   I made the change and will wait to see if a dump is produced on the next abend.
