how do I debug oracle core dump files HPUX B.11.23 u ia 64

[suzyque54]

I have several oracle core dump files in the cdump directory each under a different subdirectory as shown below. When I so a file core I get: core: ELF-64 core file - IA64 from 'oracle' - received SIGABRT. How do I get more information. I am new to managing Oracle on HPUX. Any help would be appreciated.

$ cd cdump
$ ls -l
drwxr-x--- oracle dba 12:54 core_28007
drwxr-x--- oracle dba 13:03 core_28477
drwxr-x--- oracle dba 13:05 core_28744
drwxr-x--- oracle dba 13:07 core_28964
$ cd core_28007
$ file core
core: ELF-64 core file - IA64 from 'oracle' - received SIGABRT

>How do I get more information?

You contact Oracle.
Typically a well written application will log or print out an error before aborting and that is probably more useful than trying to debug some unknown application.

But in other cases, sometimes using gdb to get a stack trace is helpful.
I.e. the PA aC++ runtime just calls abort and expects the user to debug the application.
