The originator has requested that this requirement be closed in favor of RFE 148346

I am sorry for a late reply. We have to make sure the other group does not have any concerns. Your suggestion of a new ZASER function will surely help resolve the issue. We just wanted to have streaming dumps of different types being issued by different processors in the complex may be stopped programmatically instead of manually doing the entries. We have a processor-shared Force Dump table that we can use similar to your proposal of a new ZASER function. We just hope we could do this programmatically. We are then happy to have this RFE closed. Thank you.
Does the suggestion of having an option on ZASER to propagate the settings to all of the processors (both online and offline) satisfy your requirement?
I think this may be not a good solution. Trying to merge the different dumps that occur on 8 different processors will be very complicated and will not solve the problem if different dumps are occurring. Another suggestion would be to have option on zaser to propagate the settings to all of the processors (both online and offline) . This way if problems dumps were occuring on one processor the dumps can be turned off on all. In addition the ZASER MAXCPSE/MAXOPR settings can be used to turn off dump consoles or opr dumps if more then n occurred in a minute.
