using the -d flag, the archive will be stored in the/tmp/snapcore directory. The new archive file will be named as snapcore_$pid.pax.Z: # ls -l /tmp/myDir total 5504 -rw-r--r-- 1 root system 2815081 Feb 21 09:56 snapcore_20576.pax.Z 3. To check the content of the pax archive, run the uncompress command: # uncompress -c snapcore_20576.pax.Z | pax core.18048.01084144 README lslpp.out errpt.out vi ./usr/lib/libc.a ./usr/lib/libcrypt.a ./usr/lib/libcurses.a ./usr/lib/nls/loc/en_US ./usr/lib/libi18n.a ./usr/lib/libiconv. Locating the core file You can read the core file for information related to system stops on UNIX-based systems. Use the errpt -a command to get a summary of the most recent system stoppages and the location of the core file. If the system stops on UNIX-based systems, collect the core file from the directory that stores the binary file, to which the process belongs. For example, if the failing process is the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server server process, KfwServices, the core is created in the /opt/IBM/ITM/archtype/cq/bin/ directory. Procedure To retrieve information on where the core file is created, enter the errpt -a command. Results A summary of information is displayed about the most recent crashes and also the location of the core file: LABEL: CORE_DUMP IDENTIFIER: A63BEB70 Date/Time: Tue Jun 30 15:38:47 DFT 2009 Sequence Number: 1229 Machine Id: 0056536D4C00 Node Id: nc114062 Class: S Type: PERM Resource Name: SYSPROC Description SOFTWARE PROGRAM ABNORMALLY TERMINATED Probable Causes SOFTWARE PROGRAM User Causes USER GENERATED SIGNAL Recommended Actions CORRECT THEN RETRY 6 IBM Tivoli Monitoring: Troubleshooting Guide
