Oracle EBS $INST_TOP/ora/10.1.2/forms存在很多core.文件

Forms Core Dump Files Generated in E-Business Suite R12 (文档 ID 1331304.1)

APPLIES TO:

Oracle EBS Applications Performance - Version 12.1.1 to 12.1.3 [Release 12.1]

Information in this document applies to any platform.

SYMPTOMS

On 12.1.1 instance, the size continuously increases in:

 /opt/oracle/inst/apps/PROD_prodapps/ora/10.1.2/forms and  lots of Core Dump files  generated  with a pattern similar to   " core.9721"

CHANGES

No changes done

CAUSE

The Parameter FORMS_CATCHTERM was set to "1"  which is responsible for generating Core Dump Files

SOLUTION

1. Set the FORMS_CATCHTERM to "0"  on the Application's Context File.

2. Save the Settings.

3. Run Autoconfig on the Apps Tier for changes to take effect.

4. Retest the issue.

 

What is FORMS60_CATCHTERM(R11)/FORMS_CATCHTERM(R12)?

FORMS60_CATCHTERM is an environment setting that enables (value = 1 by default) or disables (value = 0) the Forms abnormal termination handler which catches middle tier crashes and cleans up by removing temp files, closing db connections and writing diagnostic info to the dump file or the forms server log file.

The Forms signal handler can be disabled to troubleshoot spinning/hanging f60webmx processes.

 

总结一下，说白了这些core文件就是表单运行时产生的dump文件，直接全部删除即可 rm -f core.*

后续如果不想core文件持续产生，那么需要修改$CONTENT_FILE中FORMS_CATCHTERM的值为0，然后做Autoconfig就OK了。
