But, the core alone is not enough, since it will depend on shared libraries on your system that may differ from the libraries on IBM systems. The solution is to use an IBM debug tool to package up the core and all the other binaries that it depends on. If the core occurred on Solaris, then you would use grab_core; if on AIX, you would use senddata.

On AIX, the default limit on core file size may be relatively small, and that may cause the core to be truncated. A truncated core will probably be useless for debugging; if your AIX limits cause your core to be truncated, you will have to raise the limit and wait for another ...
