Mustgather: Using stackit.sh to collect native stack trace data on AIX

Troubleshooting


Problem

The stackit.sh tool can be used to generate the native stack traces from core files and hung processes on AIX®. The following information details how to run stackit.sh.

Resolving The Problem

The stackit.sh script below relies on dbx being installed on the system. Please refer to MustGather: Checking if the dbx utility is installed on AIX for more information.


stackit.sh can be run against both a core file and against a hung process:



1. Running stackit.sh against a core file:
    ./stackit.sh -mailr -e {executable} -c {core.dmp name} > stackit.out

2. Running stackit.sh against a process:

    ./stackit.sh -mailr -p {process ID} > stackit.out
