The DUMP DB command was added to ADSM (via PTF) after the manuals were
published, which is why they aren't in the books. You can find documentation
for it in SAMPLIB member ANR1110. From the Admin command line interface, if you
issue HELP DUMP DB, that should also give you information on this command.

Subject: Migrating from MVS V1 to V2

We are about to upgrade our ADSM MVS Server from V1 to V2.  I'm reading
the MVS V2 Installing Server and Admin Client manual and it says that
one of the things we should do is use the DUMP DB command with the
version 1 server to dump the contents of the server database to
sequential media.  However, I can't find anything in the V1 manuals to
explain the syntax of this command.

Can someone please supply me with the syntax of the command and/or any
comments you might have after going through the migration yourselves.

Also, does anyone have any idea of how long a DUMP DB or UPGRADE from V1
to V2 takes?
