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

    Invokes the System Dump Analyzer (SDA) utility to analyze a running
    system.

    On Alpha systems, you cannot specify the /CRASH_DUMP, /OVERRIDE, or
    /RELEASE qualifier when you use the /SYSTEM qualifier with the
    ANALYZE command.

    On VAX systems, you cannot specify the /CRASH_DUMP or /RELEASE
    qualifier when you use the /SYSTEM qualifier with the ANALYZE
    command.

    For a complete description of SDA, including more information about
    the ANALYZE/SYSTEM command and its qualifiers, see the OpenVMS Alpha
    System Dump Analyzer Utility Manual and the OpenVMS VAX System Dump
    Analyzer Utility Manual.

                               Caution

    Although the analysis of a running system might be instructive,
    be aware that system context, process context, and a processor's
    hardware context remain fluid during any given display.  In a
    multiprocessing environment, a process running SDA might be
    rescheduled to a different processor frequently during analysis.
    Therefore, Compaq recommends that you do not examine the hardware
    state using addresses that are not mapped to physical memory
    locations.

    Also, when using SDA to analyze a running system, use caution in
    interpreting its displays. Because system states change frequently,
    it is possible that the information SDA displays might be inconsistent
    with the actual, volatile state of the system at any given moment.
