[Info-ingres] Crash dumps

[Martin Bowes]

Hi Roy,

Don't you have to set the shell to allow it to generate a core file:

ulimit -a

ulimit -c unlimited

But I have no idea where the damn thing goes. A find $II_SYSTEM  -type f -name 'core*'  may be useful...I'd also look under ~ingres, II_DATABASE etc...

Subject: [Info-ingres] Crash dumps

I have an Ingres system running on RHEL and I have II_SEGV_COREDUMP=yes.
I want to make sure that Ingres really will write a core file and that the OS is configured to process it. If it is, I want to find out where it puts the blessed thing.

In /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern I see:

  |/usr/libexec/abrt-hook-ccpp %s %c %p %u %g %t e

Nothing seems to be written. 

I want to investigate using a development system but to test it I need still to present a plan.

Will trace point SC908 crash the server in a way that generates a core dump? Or should I use kill -SIGSEGV? 

Roy
