Two types of critical errors may occur in global DSM: a system abend or user-issued abend. In either case, global DSM will attempt to produce diagnostic information, and then will automatically terminate. When termination is complete, the message WER606I will be displayed on the console. At that point, global DSM will no longer be active, and all current and subsequent MFX jobs will automatically stop interacting with global DSM.
If a system abend occurs in global DSM, DSM will attempt to generate a SNAP dump to the SYSOUT data set as well as a standard SYSUDUMP. In certain instances, global DSM will also produce a diagnostic dump on the SYS1.DUMPxx data set.
If an error condition is detected internally in global DSM, DSM will attempt to generate a diagnostic dump on the SYSOUT data set and terminate with the USER abend code of 714 (hexadecimal).
