It is recommended that you use the same system software release levels for both DUMPANALYZER and SDASUPPORT, and that these levels match the MCP level when the dump was taken. During initialization, DUMPANALYZER checks the DUMPANALYZER and SDASUPPORT system software release levels, as well as the MCP system software release level of the dump file for compatibility. If the levels are different, DUMPANALYZER continues the analysis, but issues warning messages. Install the same levels of DUMPANALYZER, SDASUPPORT, and the MCP on a given system to avoid these warnings for dumps taken on that system.
Additionally, when a dump file is created and analyzed on MCP systems that are running different release levels, and that are using the default DUMPANALYZER and SDASUPPORT, you might encounter a warning. If the corresponding DUMPANALYZER and SDASUPPORT codefiles are available to analyze the mismatched dump level, an SL <SSR>SDASUPPORT command can be used to automatically match the alternative DUMPANALYZER and SDASUPPORT codefiles. In this case, the alternative SDASUPPORT codefile title is used in the SL <SSR>SDASUPPORT command. By default, if SDASUPPORT does not match the DUMPANALYZER level, and the alternate SL is not configured, DUMPANALYZER provides an opportunity to configure the alternate SL or override the version mismatch by waiting for an <SSR>SDASUPPORT library.
| Note: | In most cases, the analysis is correct despite any warnings. |
