This information enables the user to reinstall the system if there is a system problem or to replicate the system software or configuration on other systems.

The Software Error Logging and Dump Service Aids provide commands for processing the system error log and for starting and formatting the system storage printout.

The Software Trace Service Aids allow applications to capture a sequential flow of events. They also provide commands for activating and controlling traces and for generating trace reports.
