Uuencode Flash Dump
Using this command, dump information is presented in uuencoded format. This format makes
it easy to capture the dump information as a file or a string of characters.
If you want to capture dump information to a file, set your communication software on your
workstation to capture session data prior to issuing the uudmp command. This will ensure that
you do not lose any information. Once entered, the uudmp command will cause approximately
23,300 lines of data to be displayed on your screen and copied into the file.
Using the uudmp command, dump information can be read multiple times. The command
does not cause the information to be updated or cleared from flash memory.
NOTEDump information is not cleared automatically. In order for any subsequent dump
information to be written to flash memory, you must manually clear the dump region. For more
information on clearing the dump region, see page 351.
To access dump information, at the Maintenance# prompt, enter:
The dump information is displayed on your screen and, if you have configured your communi-
cation software to do so, captured to a file. If the dump region is empty, the following appears:
