Debugging a Replay Recording Session File
Previously saved replay recording session files can be loaded to further debug applications.
To debug a replay recording session file, select either
• A core file or replay recording file on the Start a Debugging Session dialog, or
• File > Debug Core or Replay Recording File from the Root or Process window if TotalView is already running.
The Core or Replay Recording File Session dialog launches. Enter a name for the session, the program, and replay recording session file's name.
If the program and replay recording session file reside on another system, enter that system's name in the
Debug on Host area (see
"Adding a Remote Host" for details).
When TotalView launches, the Process Window displays the replay recording session file, with the Stack Trace, Stack Frame, and Source Panes showing the state of the process when the replay session was saved. The title bar of the Process Window displays "Recording File". The right arrow in the line number area of the Source Pane indicates the value of the program counter (PC) when the process was saved.
You can examine the state of all variables at the time the replay session saved file occurred. See
Chapter 9, "Examining and Editing Data and Program Elements".
