Abstract

A method for recording the data state in a data processing system when an exceptional situation determined by prescribed characteristics is reached for a triggering program in the data processing system. For this purpose, at least one relevant data set which is at least indirectly affected by an access operation by the triggering program and is intended for subsequently deducing the circumstances leading to the exceptional situation is selected on the basis of a prescribed rule, and a recording copy of the content of the at least one relevant data set is then created in a form which permits transfer to another data processing system independently of the triggering program.
