Dump Analysis

Hi All,

Can someone tell me the key actions to analyse the dumps in production system without replicating in quality. As sometime we need to analyse dumps in production system directly.

Kindly let us know the documentation of the dumps before going debugging. Any documents attached can be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

What about "read the DUMP"? I mean, ST22 provides you -almost- enough information to allow you to determine what is needed to prevent it.

There are few cases when you need to replicate the error and/or to debug it.

And I am afraid there is no general guidance for this. It mainly depends on your experience. Most time I just read the dump and check which statement caused the dump and the "Active Calls/Events" section, guess what happened, what was the root cause. If the dump can be reproduced online, there will be debug button, use debugger to see more. Sorry about I couldn't provide better answer
