Library /sys$common/syshlp/helplib.hlb  —  ANALYZE  /SYSTEM
    Invokes the System Dump Analyzer utility, which analyzes a running system.
    The /SYSTEM qualifier is required.

    Requires CMKRNL (change-mode-to-kernel) privilege. Also requires PFNMAP
    (map-by-PFN) privilege to access memory by physical address.

    For more information about the System Dump Analyzer utility on Alpha and
    Integrity server systems, see the HP OpenVMS System Analysis Tools Manual
    or online help.

    Format:

      ANALYZE/SYSTEM

1    /SYMBOL 

    Specifies an alternate system symbol table for SDA to use.

    Format:

      ANALYZE/SYSTEM/SYMBOL=system-symbol-table

    system-symbol-table

    The file specification of the SDA system symbol table required
    by SDA to analyze a running system. The specified system-symbol-table
    must contain those symbols required by SDA to find certain
    locations in the executive image.

    On Alpha and I64 systems, if you do not specify the /SYMBOL qualifier,
    SDA uses SDA$READ_DIR:SYS$BASE_IMAGE.EXE to load system symbols
    into the SDA symbol table.

    On VAX systems, if you do not specify the /SYMBOL qualifier, SDA
    uses SYS$SYSTEM:SYS.STB by default.

    When you specify the /SYMBOL qualifier, SDA assumes the default disk
    and directory to be SYS$DISK and [default-dir]; that is, the disk
    and directory specified in your last SET DEFAULT command.  If no
    device and directory are given in the file name and the file is not
    found in the current default directory, SDA attempts to open the file
    SDA$READ_DIR:filename.type. If no type has been given in the file
    name, SDA assumes .EXE. If you specify a file for this parameter that
    is not a system symbol table, SDA halts with a fatal error.

2  –  Examples 

    1.  $ ANALYZE/SYSTEM

        OpenVMS (TM) system analyzer

        SDA>

        This command invokes SDA to analyze the running system.

    2.  On Alpha and I64 systems:

        $ ANALYZE/SYSTEM/SYMBOL=SDA$READ_DIR:SYS$BASE_IMAGE.EXE SYS$SYSTEM

        This command invokes SDA to analyze the running system, using
        the base image in SDA$READ_DIR.

    3.  On VAX systems:

        $ ANALYZE/SYSTEM/SYMBOL=SYS$CRASH:SYS.STB SYS$SYSTEM

        This command invokes SDA to analyze the running system, using
        the system symbol table at SYS$CRASH:SYS.STB.
