command similar to pstack on AIX433

[dharmadeep]

Hi,



Is there any command similar to pstack on AIX433. I try using dbx like
'dbx <prog_name> <core file> ' but it gives error



Type 'help' for help.

Core file program (df_engine) does not match current program
(core ignored)

reading symbolic information ...dbx: fatal error: 1283-012 cannot open



to use adb , the adb on my machine says that the core has to be in pre
4.3.0 format.



it even doesn't specify what it is unable to open. I just want the
addresses of the function calls in the stack trace, I can find out the
function name from the executable using nm.



Thanks,

dharmadeep

looks like you are using the wrong program to view your core file



lquerypv -h core 6b0 --> will give you the prog name for that
particular core file.



then run a find for instances of that program name.. (i.e there could be
2 programs with the same name if you are coding them yourslef etc.. )



then use dbx prog corefile



not sure what you mean by pstack ? do you mean pstack.sh or pstat ?
pstack.sh uses dbx under the covers anyway...



you could use the "dump" command, that will dump all sorts from a core
file or dump file.. check out the man pages.

Actually, you can use dbx to get the program name too. If you have a core
file from a program called "dropcore", and you enter

dbx /bin/ls core

You'll get a message from dbx like:

Core file "core" for program "dropcore" does not match current program
(ignored)

You can then exit dbx and enter the right program

dbx dropcore core

Looks like the core file came from df_engine. Are you running

$ dbx /path/to/df_engine /path/to/core

?

You're pretty much stuck with dbx.
