MDM core Files

[Former Member]

Hi,

Core files are created in MDM unix os and has reached the file size of 5.3GB. It seems it occupies large memory, can any one tell, if i delete those core files will it create any issues and what is the actual use for those core files?

Thanks

Hi Vinoth,

Core files contain important information about the crash of MDS.

Stack trace is extracted from the core dump. This might be the most important evidence of what happened when the application crashed and usually leads to the correct diagnosis in the fastest way. Without this evidence there would be no way to know why the application crashed.Obtaining the stack trace starts from locating the core dump file.

The core file generation is highly dependent on OS settings,you can consult your system administrator and change the location of core file generation.

Deleting them is not a good idea as they give valuable information about MDS crash.

You can take a backup and delete them or shift the location of core file generation.

Thanks,

Hello,

these core files are generated as log files which can be accessed from the mdm console logs.

SAP Note 1250193 "MDM crashes arbitrarily on UNIX, what I should do?"

I am not sure if deleting is the best, but make sure you have a backup/ archive of these files
