Hi Experts,

Good Day!!

I have on question what is core file? why core files are generating in the server?

BO generates a lot of core files. Based on the core files generation on daily basis disk space growing up for controlling disk space  am manual removing the core files(E.g core.<number>.<number>) rm core.123.123

They pretty quickly fill up the file system and require daily manual cleanup to recover the disk space.

It would be a great if you provide some clear information regarding on this.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Stefen,

I guess you are on aix ?

I have seen this behavior , All you need to be considered about wether core files are crashing the services or any reduction in performances , There might be several reasons .


file (command )  Core* (file name )

- This will give you the the service which is hit .

For further analysis you can get dbx utility from IBM to do core file analysis or you can activate trace logs on impacted service to know what exactly is going on in server.  Raising an incident with SAP will also give you some help.

For time being you can rid of core files by a shell script.

core files are generated when a process crashes. so first you need to determine which process generates the cores, then investigate why that process is crashing.

run following command : file <core file name)

It should tell you which process the core belong to.
