OCA and NonStop Debugging Tools

You can also run Accelerator on a TNS object file that has been previously accelerated

for the TNS/E environment by OCA:

See the H-Series Application Migration Guide for further information about using OCA

and the Accelerator.

OCA and NonStop Debugging Tools

You can use either Visual Inspect or Native Inspect to debug programs accelerated by

OCA. Source-level (symbolic) debugging of accelerated programs is very similar to

TNS programs. However, machine-level debugging of accelerated programs is limited,

and rarely necessary. See Section 7, Debugging OCA Programs for further information

about using OCA with Visual Inspect and Native Inspect.

OCA and EPTRACE

EPTRACE is a performance investigation tool designed for the Guardian environment.

It reports detailed counts of trap events and provides a complete trace log of these

events so you can locate, diagnose, and resolve all trap-causing locations in a

program.

EPTRACE reports two types of information in the trace log:

•

Counters

Reports individual counters for each process, including interrupt processes.

The per-CPU totals equal the sum of all process counters.

•

Traces
