core dump!!!!!!

[gany59]

How to take the core dump from the server, for taking teh core dump shall we need to crash the server or is there any way to capture the core dump.

What exactly do you want?

Do you want a core dump from a particular process? If this is true, you can do a 'kill -3' or 'kill -quit' on the process.

Or do you want a crash dump (memory dump) from the server itself?

If you want a crash dump from the server, then you must crash the server with a "transfer of control". This can be done on some servers via a "TOC" button on the back of the server. On all servers it can be done from the GSP/MP via the TC command.

I hope you are looking for crash dump instead of core dump. Core Dump is for processes and crash dump is for system.
If your query was, Can I take the crash dump without reboot/crash, then it depends on Os/Platform, basically 11.31/IA
Refer below link for limitations and other details:

Hi,
Core dump is basically used for application/process core.

If you are talking about crash dump , its OS crash dump.

In 11.31 integrity you have option with out tocing the server (livedump) ..

Else you need to do a toc using the command/button

for Vpars you need to issue a vparreset
