grab_core
grab_core
grabs a core file, the binary that dropped it, and
any shared libraries that the binary depends on and bundles it all up in a
tar file.
The tar file that grab_core produces contains enough information for Support to run dbx and analyze the core file.
A customer will typically compress the resulting tar file and ftp it to Support for analysis.
We currently have a version of grab_core
for use with
Solaris 2.x only, not for any other OS.
For similarly packaging up core files on the AIX platform, use the AIX-specific script senddata.
