Creates a process based on the session values. Sessions that attach to an existing process cannot be loaded this way; use the -pid command line option instead

Starts TotalView and loads the executable program.

If you installed TotalView on a Macintosh using the application bundle, you can drag your program’s executable to the TotalView icon on your desktop.

If you type an executable name, TotalView remembers that name and many of its arguments.

Starts TotalView and loads the executable program and one or more associated core-files.

The core-files argument represents one or more core files associated with this executable. You can use wild cards in the core file names.

Starts TotalView and loads the executable program and an associated recording-file. The recording file was saved in a previous debugging session that used the Replay feature, and restores the state of that debugging session, including all Replay information.

Starts TotalView and passes all the arguments following the -a option to the executable program. When using the -a option, it must be the last TotalView option on the command line.

If you don’t use the -a option and you want to add arguments after TotalView loads your program, add them either using either the File > Debug New Program dialog box or use the Process > Startup command.

Starts TotalView on your local host and the tvdsvr command (which implements and controls debugging on remote machines) on a remote host. After TotalView begins executing, it loads the program specified by executable for remote debugging. You can specify a host name or a TCP/IP address. If you need to, you can also enter the TCP/IP port number.

If TotalView fails to automatically load a remote executable, you may need to disable autolaunching for this connection and manually start the tvdsvr. (Autolaunching is the process of automatically launching tvdsvr processes.) To disable autolaunching, add the hostname:portnumber suffix to the name entered in the Debug on Host field of the File > Debug New Program dialog box. As always, the portnumber is the TCP/IP port number on which TotalView server is communicating with TotalView. See "Starting the TotalView Server Manually" for more information.

Method 1: In many cases, you can start an MPI program in much the same way as you would start any other program. However, you need to select A New Parallel program from the Start a Debugging Session dialog box, and enter the MPI version and other information on the parallel program to debug.

Method 2: The MPI mpirun command starts the TotalView executable pointed to by the TOTALVIEW environment variable. TotalView then starts your program. This program runs using count processes.

If you have prepared a gnu_debuglink file, TotalView can access this information. For more information, see “Using gnu_debuglink Files” within the Compilers and Platforms chapter of the TotalView for HPC Reference Guide.
