Abstract: The invention proposes a method for providing dumps. The method is performed in a first functional entity of a distributed environment of a telecommunication network. The first functional entity may communicate with a second functional entity. During a call set-up procedure typically a unique identification is exchanged between the first and the second functional entity. When an error is detected, information related to the call is dumped and the unique identifier is associated thereto. Furthermore, a message is generated which comprises a signal descriptor indicating that the message is generated in response to a detected error. Subsequently, the generated message is send to the second functional entity to provoke a dump of information related to the call and associating the unique identification. Furthermore, alternative embodiments and devices adapted for the methods are disclosed.
