Can anyone explain how a MIDI Data Dump works please?

Not 100% sure if that's the right terminology I've used but basically, I've bought a Waldorf Rocket hardware synth. It does not store any patches but it does say in the manual that by holding down the Rocket's Launch button for 1 second, it will dump the patch data into the DAW's midi track in the form of a sysex file.
However in Live, I'm not sure how you can tell that it has received a data dump.
So at the moment, I have an External Instrument midi track set up in Live with a melody playing that I like and want to keep, I don't yet want to commit it to audio but I do want to carry on experimenting with the Rocket's sounds without fear of losing the sound I've currently got running.
Can anyone with experience on this or even the Rocket in Live help me at all?
Cheers
