debugger without terminating a debugger session.
Format
SDA [sda-command]
1 – Parameters
sda-command
One SDA command to be executed before returning control to the
OpenVMS debugger.
2 – Description
The SDA command allows you to use the System Dump Analyzer (SDA)
within the debugger for the following tasks:
o System code debugging with the System Code Debugger (SCD)
(Alpha and Integrity servers only)
o System dump analysis with the System Dump Debugger (SDD)
(Alpha and Integrity servers only)
o Process dump analysis with the System Dump Analyzer (SDA)
(Alpha and Integrity servers only)
This gives you access to all SDA commands within the debugging
session. When you exit SDA, you return to the same debugging
session. Note that you do not have access to debugger commands
within the SDA session.
NOTE
The SDA command is not available when debugging user-mode
programs.
