Hi all. Found the problem.
Default pathing in readcore couldn't find libnvsnmp.a Don't know why
this no longer works. The environment script had been sourced. Running
the dbx entry from the command line showed it tried to find libnvsnmp.a
in ../../lib. Since the command was run from the directory in which the
core was located (/usr/OV/PD/cores/netmon), it was looking in /usr/OV/PD
instead of /usr/OV/lib. Use of fully qualified pathname still works:
Failing version
---------------
>From the directory where the core was located (/usr/OV/PD/cores/netmon),
issued:
/usr/OV/service/readcore
Working version
---------------
/usr/OV/service/readcore /usr/OV/bin/netmon /usr/OV/PD/cores/netmon/core
Support is notified and will look into it. Appears something changed
between 6.02 and 6.03. Also requested readcore be enhanced to display
the error output.
Regards,
Karin

Subject: [NV-L] /usr/OV/service/readcore Hangs
Hi all,
Happy New Year.
Running AIX 4.3.3, Netview 6.03, IY25971 (nvcorrd) and IY25342 (netmon).
Netmon is dying occasionally, and I have a call open with support. I am
trying to do a readcore on the netmon core dump for support, and
readcore is hanging at the line:
"starting debugger: dbx -d 400 /usr/OV/bin/netmon core "
No other messages issued. It just hangs there for hours until I
control-c out of it.
There have been two netmon core dumps on this system since the upgrade
to 6.03 and patches, and readcore failed on both. I have used readcore
successfully in the past (prior to upgrading to 6.03). I re-read
/usr/OV/service/readcore.readme, and didn't see any new requirements.
The system should still be set up for full cores, and dbx is still
loaded.
Any hints on debugging the debugger?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Karin Binder
