On Unix Systems where dbx has been installed, confirm that dbx -a <pid> is the correct command for the installed version of dbx to attach to a process by the identified PID (Process ID #).
 
The command to attach is typically:
 
dbx -a <pid #>
 
If the connection is successful, the prompt should change to dbx>.
 
The command to get a stack trace from the process in memory is:
 
where
 
Save the output of the where for review at a later time.
 
VERY IMPORTANT!!
The command to detach is typically:

If working with Technical Support, send the output from where to Technical Support.
