Operating Systems AIX Core File issue!Need help in DBX cmd's! Post 302256721 by bakunin on Monday 10th of November 2008 11:53:44 AM

dbx is a symbolic debugger. It can help you analyze the core file, find out what caused the dump and specify advice to the software developers as to what they have to change in their code. So, in a sense, dbx can help you.

Unfortunately to analyze the core you will need a deep understanding of the inner workings of AIX and software development in general. If i got you correctly (if not - sorry, no offense intended) you lack these credentials so chances are you will not be able to analyze the core file correctly, not even with help from us. Telling you what you might need to know is practically teaching you a trade you have no knowledge about and this would be too complex to do over the internet.

I suggest you hire a professional to do it for you. His background should include software development with AIX. AND: AIX is somewhat different - "i have once programmed something" is NOT going to be sufficient.

I hope this helps.

abrt-action-analyze-backtrace

ABRT-ACTION-ANALYZ(1)						    ABRT Manual 					     ABRT-ACTION-ANALYZ(1)

NAME

       abrt-action-analyze-backtrace - Analyzes C/C++ backtrace, generates duplication hash, backtrace rating, and identifies crash function in
       problem directory DIR.

SYNOPSIS

       abrt-action-analyze-backtrace [-v] [-d DIR]

DESCRIPTION

       The tool reads a file named backtrace from problem directory, generates duplication hash, backtrace rating, and identifies crash function.
       Then it saves this data as new elements duphash, rating, crash_function in this problem directory.

   Integration with libreport events
       abrt-action-analyze-backtrace can be used as a secondary analyzer, after backtrace has been generated. The data generated by
       abrt-action-analyze-backtrace is useful for reporting the crash to bug databases: rating makes it possible to prevent reporting of bugs
       with low quality (non-informative) backtraces, duplication hash is used to find already filed bugs about similar crashes.

       Example usage in report_event.conf:

	   EVENT=analyze analyzer=CCpp
		   abrt-action-generate-backtrace || exit $?
		   abrt-action-analyze-backtrace

OPTIONS

       -d DIR
	   Path to problem directory.

       -v
	   Be more verbose. Can be given multiple times.
