Sets whether or not Analytic Services saves a core dump to a file when an abnormal termination of an agent or server process occurs. UNIX only.
CRASHDUMP TRUE | FALSE
TRUE | Creates a new directory containing a core file for each instance of an agent or server abnormal termination. |
FALSE | No core file is created. This is the default value. |
The CRASHDUMP setting provides information to help diagnose abnormal program terminations. For each instance of an agent crash, when CRASHDUMP is set to TRUE, Analytic Services creates a file, named core. It places the core file in a new directory under ARBORPATH. The name of the new directory is ESSBASE.abc, where abc displays the date and time. The following example includes both the directory and file created after an agent crash:
/hyperion/essbase/ESSBASE.Mon_Jun_3_18_16_17_2003/core
In each instance of a server crash, when CRASHDUMP is set to TRUE, Analytic Services creates the core file in a new directory under ARBORPATH/app/appName, where appName is the name of the application. The name of the new directory is ESSSVR.abc, where abc displays the date and time. The following example includes both the directory and file created after a crash when the server is working with the Sample application:
/hyperion/essbase/app/Sample/ESSSVR.Mon_Jun_3_18_16_17_2003/core
If the situation involves an agent or server process being automatically shut down, the core file contains a core dump of that moment. If the situation involves a hung agent or server process being shut down manually, the core file may be empty.
When CRASHDUMP is set to TRUE, look for the core file any time you experience abnormal Analytic Services program terminations. If the file is not empty, provide it to Hyperion Support and then remove it and its directory from the computer. If the core file is empty, remove it and its directory from the computer.
In normal operations without abnormal terminations, core files are not created.
