The crash dump analyzer program has been modified to create and
read from disk rather that tape. The program will run identically to the
original version and will still respond to all of the original command
lines described in the DECs IAS System Management Guide. However, if a
comma is placed after the output file specification, CDA will now create
a binary copy of the crash tape. The file will have a default name of
SY:BINARY.CDA. The file can be used as an input file by placing it after
the equal sign in the command line. For example:
PDS> MC CDA DR0:,=/ATL
will create the files DR0:ANALYSIS.LST and BINARY.CDA. Here the equal
sign is optional. The binary file can be copied or transferred via
DECNET, if desired. To use the binary file:
PDS> MC CDA =BINARY.CDA/SRQ
This command will open BINARY.CDA, analyze it, and spool the output
file [1,4]ANALYSIS.LST.
The files on this tape on [302,204] are intended to be applied to
the IAS 3.1 (autopatch E) crash dump analyzer CDA. If you have
DECnet source, the NDAXFR, NDADIO, and NDAFIO sliper files can be
run on your source code. All modified object files have also
been included. This implementation contains IAS Software dispatch
seq # 2.1.8.1 . To implement the sliper files on your source
code, issue the following command:
PDS> SUB [302,204]SLIPER
If you have DECnet source, then:
PDS> SUB [302,204]SLIPERNDA
Else:
PDS> @NDACOPY
If you don't have IAS source, the object files will have to be manually
copied to [11,103]. No command files are provided. Also, the sliper
files for CDAODL, and CDATKB will have to be executed manually.
Build the program using the new command file and ODL file on [11,103].
