Obtaining stack traces

The EAServer process stack trace contains information about the active threads for the process.

Obtaining a stack trace in Windows

1. Change to the %JAGUAR%/bin directory.

2. Open the serverstart.bat file, and look for the line that contains:

   jagsrvagent.exe -servername %ServerName% .... 2>&1 tee ...
   

3. Remove “2>&1 tee”, then save and close the file.

4. Restart EAServer.

5. Ctrl+Break

Obtaining a stack trace in UNIX

1. In UNIX, to generate a JVM full thread dump, enter:

   kill -QUIT EAServer_process_id
   

   This does not work if you use “-Xrs” as a JVM parameter.

   AIX may need special configuration for a full dump.

   On the Solaris platform, to generate a C back trace, you can use pstack, which is located in /usr/proc/bin.

Another alternative is to generate a core file—see “UNIX core files”.
