Selecting a Process Dump Directory?
You can customize the device and directory for the process dump by defining the logical names SYS$PROCDMP and SYS$PROTECTED_PROCDMP. The former is for non- privileged dumps, while the latter is the location where privileged image dumps are written, and preferably an area protected against untrusted access. For example: $ define SYS$PROCDMP SYS$ERRORLOG: $ define /exec SYS$PROTECTED_PROCDMP SYS$ERRORLOG: The abouve presumes that the SYS$ERRORLOG logical name points to a valid location. There is presently no means to change the name of the generated dump file from IMAGENAME.DMP to something else. Accordingly, you will want to use different target directories for this purpose, particularly if there is more than one application or process potentially writing process dumps.
