VMS Help ANALYZE, /CRASH_DUMP, /OVERRIDE  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    On Alpha systems, when used with the /CRASH_DUMP qualifier,
    invokes SDA to analyze the specified dump file if a corruption
    or other problem prevents normal invocation of SDA with an
    ANALYZE/CRASH_DUMP command.

    Format

      ANALYZE/CRASH_DUMP/OVERRIDE filespec

    filespec

    Name of the crash dump file to be analyzed.  The default file
    specification is:

       SYS$DISK:[default-dir]SYSDUMP.DMP

    SYS$DISK and [default-dir] represent the disk and directory
    specified in your last SET DEFAULT command.  If you do not
    specify filespec, SDA prompts you for it.

1 - Description

    Commands that can be used when SDA is invoked with /OVERRIDE are
    as follows:

    o  Output control commands such as SET OUTPUT and SET LOG
    o  Dump file related commands such as SHOW DUMP and CLUE ERRLOG

    Commands that cannot be used are as follows:

    o  Commands that access memory addresses within the dump file such
       as EXAMINE and SHOW SUMMARY
    o  You cannot specify the /RELEASE qualifier when you include the
       /OVERRIDE qualifier in the ANALYZE/CRASH_DUMP command.

2 - Examples

   $ ANALYZE/CRASH_DUMP/OVERRIDE SYS$SYSTEM:SYSDUMP.DMP
   $ ANALYZE/CRASH SYS$SYSTEM

       These commands invoke SDA to analyze the crash dump stored in
       SYS$SYSTEM:SYSDUMP.DMP.
