Newbie: How To find Core Dump files on Unix?! URGENT!

Hi, i would like to know on How To find Core Dump files on Unix?!
I know they should be found in /usr/sap/<SYSTEM-ID>/<INSTANZ>/work
but there are no "core" files and also in tmp is nothing unusual but disk space is totally full.
So how to find the big files which i could delete to make system running again?!
can someone provide me with some infos?!
br

1. which user i should use to search and destroy?! root-user or SYSID-User?!
Always use the user with the least permissions to do the job, don't use root if your sidadm can do it. If you want to find / delete SAP files use sidadm.
2. I found no core files and the harddisk is still 100% full, what files might also cause this problem
In your first post you wrote that /usr/sap/SID/INST/work dir is full, it is most likely that some trace files got to large. Check for files like dev_*, dew_w0 for example is the trace file of work process 0, dev_disp is the trace of the dispatcher and so on. You either have to increase the size of the filesystem, or find the cause for the growing file. It can be due to an increased trace level.
3. What on database-side could cause this problems?! can i search for sth here.
This does not look like a database issue so far.
4. i was unable to use the given scripts (noob!), what can i do else?!
Which one, please post what you typed and the error you got.
Best regards, Michael

How to collect core dump file

Thanks alot

Moderator advice: Don't double post. The other thread you started in the Servers General Discussion forum with the identically same question has been removed.

Hi Vutha,
Are you looking for instructions on collecting a core file, created by a failing userland process, or do you want to collect kernel crashdump files ?
You can look at the output of the coreadm command to find out what file is stored in which location.
What to collect is nicely described in [url https://supporthtml.oracle.com/ep/faces/secure/km/DocumentDisplay.jspx?id=1010911.1]What to send to Oracle Sun after a system panic and/or unexpected reboot (Doc ID 1010911.1).
Did you know we have two community categories in My Oracle Support, where you also can post your questions ? Have a look at [url https://communities.oracle.com/portal/server.pt/community/sun_sparc_enterprise_servers/447]Sun SPARC Enterprise Servers and [url https://communities.oracle.com/portal/server.pt/community/oracle_sun_technologies/388] Oracle Sun Technologies .

How to find a dump file is taken using norma exp or expdp

Hi All,
How to find out whether a dump file is taken using the conventional exp or using the expdp utility?
OS: HPUX
DB: 10.2.0.4

Hi ,
I go with Helios's reply. We cannot just predict if it was taken my expdp or exp.
Since your DB version is 10 , both could be possible.
The simplest way would be : just run the imp , if it throws error , then its created through expdp.
because dump from expdp cannot be used with imp and vice versa. So that could help you find..
else , try to get the syntax by which the dump was created.
If you have any doubts , wait for experts to reply.

How to view database core dump file

I have an Oracle server on windows 2000. Now, I found the oracle server will produce a core dump file in ..\cdump directory. But this file is only a system memory image, so it's hard to analysis the core dump reason, could you tell me how to view this file? thanks

There's no much useful information for you too see. You can create a SR with Oracle support and upload file if you want to investigate the cause of core dump. also check if there's any errors in your alert<SID>.log and core_dump_dest

AIX core dump file,

Hi
In AIX core dump file, we got this message
'SOFTWARE PROGRAM ABNORMALLY TERMINATED'CORE FILE NAME
/scclive/oracle/inst/apps/SCC_ebsprod/ora/10.1.2/forms/core
PROGRAM NAME
frmweb
We are getting these errors frequently when there was some network issue between our server and PDC. That why oracle application server is hanging and we had to bounce for resolving the issue. Can anybody help how to resolve permanently from AIX point of view?
Regards
Ateeq

Hi
1)In which way the PDC is connected to your EBIZ system?
No we are using hostfile. 2)If point 1 is correct then u should solve the network issue as the forms sessions are hanging coz of network issue OR If point 1 is correct then you must update the EBIZ system hostfile with the fully qualified domain name and remove DNS server for the EBIZ system to solve this issue.
We do have fully qualified domanin name in hostfile.As well as using DNS server also.Regards

How to find out the file name

How to find out the file name from selection screen?
I searched SCN threads but not found relavant solution.

       gv_full_path_string TYPE string,
       gv_filename(100),

AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR p_file.
Ask user to select file with a popup :
CALL FUNCTION 'F4_FILENAME'
    IMPORTING
      file_name = gv_full_path.
Get filename from path :
gv_full_path_string = gv_full_path.
CALL FUNCTION 'CH_SPLIT_FILENAME'
    EXPORTING
      complete_filename = gv_full_path_string
    IMPORTING
      extension         = gv_file_ext

CONCATENATE gv_filename '.' gv_file_ext INTO gv_filename.
p_file = gv_filename.
I hope it helps.

How to find PG.xml file name and path associated with a FUNCTION

Hi,
I am having a function:IRC_VIS_HOME_PAGE with Web HTML value as below:
OA.jsp?akRegionCode=IRC_VIS_HOME_PAGE&akRegionApplicationId=800&OAPB=IRC_BRAND
How to find PG.xml file name and path assoicated with above funtion.
Thanks,
ashok

Ashok,
Function IRC_VIS_HOME_PAGE will have 2 parameter defined for it which are OASF and OAHP where
OASF=<SelectedFunctionName> - this tells the Framework to select this function in the given "Home Page" menu context.
OAHP=<HomePageMenuName> - this is used ONLY with the OASF parameter, and it is used to establish the current menu context. It should point to a "Home Page" menu.

Why my core dump file is "???? " in main process in solaris 10

why my core dump file is "???? ?" in main process in solaris 10?
and called funtion is ok , can see the name and address!
this problem is only occurent in solaris 10, not in solaris 8
for exampel, pstacking core file is :
?????(0x0034x,......)----------this function in main process
ACE_Rector::svc()(0xff3e........)this is called function

If i recall correctly its because the binary called a function (in a library for instance) which pstack can not resolve.

Revoe core dump files from cdump directory

Hi,
I have lot of core dump files exist in cdump directory of 5 GB size. Latest core dump is feb 27 2008.
Can I safely remove all core dump files now, it is production instance 10.2.0.1 running on HP-UX.
Please suggest. I

No problem, a core dump means that the memory of the process was dumped in a file 'core' on the file system because of an exceptional condition similar to the internal error ORA-600, however, the big difference is that the kernel did not anticipate the error.

How to run a JAR file in Unix system?

hi there
ca anyone tell me how to run a JAR file in unix system or X window, thank you

You want to create an executable JAR file? You do it in the following way.
Create a manifest file such as manif.txt and the contents should contain
Main-Class: foo
assuming foo is the name of your main class. Then create the jar as follows
jar cvfm foo.jar manif.txt foo.class
I hope that helps you!

[Solved] Systemd: how to disable core dumps on application crashes?

Hi,
I'm sorry if this is the wrong forum, but I just couldn't find a place that's really suitable for such a question.
I have a really annoying problem with systemd: I'm developing software, which sometimes crashes. And when it crashes, I sometimes want to examine core dumps.
The problem is that systemd seems to force coredumps, but saves them in some kind of obscure internal storage, where I don't have a clue about how to extract them from.
The only hint that I could find was http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/s … 04643.html which isn't really helpful.
The problem is that systemd installs its coredump handler on boot:
[root@neptun ~]# cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
|/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-coredump %p %u %g %s %t %e
Is there any way to disable this? I don't want core dumps to be generated unless I need them. Just clearing that file on boot seems too hackish for me, does anybody know if there is a systemd
configuration option to turn coredumps off?
Cheers,
andr3as

The .conf file was recently renamed so the symlink must be called different as well. But I found it needs to contain something to actually overload systemd's default
# echo kernel.core_pattern= > /etc/sysctl.d/50-coredump.conf
# /lib/systemd/systemd-sysctl
# cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern # should be empty
