Hi

I am supposing that the file you are saying under /usr/sap/UAE/J00/j2ee/cluster/server0 is like this:

core.YYYYMMDD:HHMMSS:xxxxxx.0001.dmp ==> normally this is the java heapdump if you are using IBM JDK.

javacore.YYYYMMDD:HHMMSS:xxxxxx.0001.txt ==> normally this is the java threaddump.

The size of core.YYYYMMDD:HHMMSS:xxxxxx.0001.dmp is equal to the heap size, normally 2GB or 1GB, so I think this is

you are taling as it is "huge".

The size of javacore.YYYYMMDD:HHMMSS:xxxxxx.0001.txt is noramll several MB, it does not matter much.

And generally the heapdump is generated if there is a OutOfMemory occurs, of course you can delete the file(s) to release

disk space, but sometimes if you need to investigate more about the relevant error, you move such files to other disk.

Hello All,

Thanks for your reply.

The file i am talking about is '01 core' and is present at path '/usr/sap/UAE/J00/j2ee/cluster/server0'.

Hi Thunder,

The file size is 1.5 GB and its name is 'core' only ,in my last update i mentioned the file name as '01 core' that is wrong

its just 'core'

Thanks

Hi Uttam

The 'core' file should be generated from OS level, not JDK/J2EE, there is the corresponding analyze tool or command on different Unix platform, for example, on AIX, refer to this:

http://fixunix.com/aix/513759-command-get-stack-trace-core-dump-aix-5-3-a.html

But if the core file was not generated recently, I would like to suggest you just delete it.

While if the core file is generated frequently, you would better check further with your OS administrator.

Thanks

Hi Thunder,

By time stamp it seems the file got generated on 5 september and that time our database down due to space issue

in database (oracle) folder.

Thanks

Hi,

All right, it is very likely the core file was generated due the the failure on 5th Sep.

Hence you can just delete it.

Thanks

Hi Thunder,

Thanks, the issue is resolved. I have removed the core file.

Hi,

you might extract the C-STACK from the core file using:

<debugger> <triggering executable> <core file>

use jlauch as the triggering executable.

Hello,

Are you talking about a 'core' file which can also be called as system core file which is created when a process is killed or terminated by OS. Normally this file will be deleted to free up some space. In some cases the file has to provided to SAP in order to solve issues.

The core file under server0 directory should be a java core file like 'javacorexxxx.txt', this file should not be deleted since they are updated by server0 of J2EE engine.

You can instead configure log and trace file sizes to limit the growth of them.
