Core file generation

anirudhrh · Post by **anirudhrh** » 11 Nov 2013 8:19

I have a core file getting generated on one of the system on a daily basis. we have plenty of SAP related jobs running on it . I am unable to find the job as there are huge numbers of jobs running at the same time .

Would the core file contain any information about the job or the reason as to why it was generated. Information relevant to us ..

Hi anirudhrh,

All you need to do is the following:
1 - identify the process that crash, by running the "file" command, for example:
% file core
core: ELF 64-bit MSB core file SPARCV9 Version 1, from 'ctmorder'

*** In the above example the core file was generated by the 'ctmorder' utility.

2 - run gdb/dbx (depend on your UNIX type)in order to query the stack and type 'where' to query the stack:
% file core.TR
core.TR: AIX core file fulldump 64-bit, p_ctmtr

dbx exe_AIX/p_ctmtr core.TR
...
(dbx) where
.() at 0x80000000076ae08 [inaccessible: missing /u01/local/controlmsvr/oracle/pr oduct/10.2.0.1/lib/libclntsh.so]
.() at 0x800000000963340 [inaccessible: missing /u01/local/controlmsvr/oracle/pr oduct/10.2.0.1/lib/libclntsh.so]

Then - open a ticket for BMC support
