Effects of Deletion of SYSDUMP.DMP?

» close window

The Question is:

 
I accidentally deleted SYS$SYSTEM:SYSDUMP.DMP.
 
What do I need to do to get it back?
 
Will it be automatically "resurrected" next time I reboot?
 
 

The Answer is :

 
  The file will be held open automatically and no particularly untoward
  effects will arise.  You will need to create a new version of the file
  using SYS$UPDATE:SWAPFILES.COM (if necessary), reboot, and perform an
  ANALYZE/DISK/REPAIR after the reboot to recover the storage held by
  the older version.  You will probably also want to clean out files
  found in [SYSLOST] -- moving or deleting as appropriate -- after the
  repair pass has completed.
