Hello Umesh,

Go ahead and just delete the file.

System administrators usually limit core size to avoid dangerous core files filling file systems. Core file size can be limited with the "ulimit" or "limit" commands. Look at these examples

$ ulimit -a # Display limits for your session under sh or ksh

$ limit # Display limits for your session under csh or tcsh

$ ulimit -c SIZE_IN_BLOCKS # Limit core size under sh or ksh

$ limit coredumpsize SIZE_IN_KB # Limit core size under csh or tcsh

Regards,

to get rid of core files permanently in this directory:

rm core

ln -s /dev/null core

or

rm core

touch core

chmod 000 core

THERE YA GO, NO MORE BIG CORE FILES.

from my expericience you can delete it...

the core file is a oracle dump file...

normally you have a dump in SAP too, so try checking it (SYSTEM_CORE_DUMP or something) it might help you

Dear Joaquim Pereira ,

yes it can be deleted, but it is coming very frequently. is there anyway to eliminate that file?

Thanks

you can always make a script running to eliminate the core file...

for example:

#!/bin/ksh

if [ -e /usr/sap/SID/DVEBMGS00/work/core ]

then

echo `date +%Y-%m-%d.%Hh%Mm%Ss`" - Core Deleted : "`ls -l /usr/sap/SID/DVEBMGS00/work/core` >> log_core

/usr/bin/rm /usr/sap/SID/DVEBMGS00/work/core

fi

i have this little script running each 5 minutes to check and delete core files

altho this solves your space problems, it may not solve your true problem... i advise you to analise any core dump in SAP.
