Error description
SRA scanning an AIX-hosted Oracle database generates core dumps while running the Default DB Scan. Core dumps are created in /opt/IBM/TPC/agent/bin and can be large in size. Database scan job log reports the DB scan is successful. Problem exists in the SRA dbmonitor binary files. Only external symptom is the core dump files being generated. Core files are named similarly to this: core.xxxxxxx.xxxxxxxx RECREATE STEPS: Run database scan jobs against an AIX-hosted Oracle instance. Observe creation of core dump files. ________________________________________________________________ DB2 Version used for Server: N/A The defect is against component: 5608TPC00 Server/Manager build/release (TPC): 5.2.3 Agent (OS): AIX ________________________________________________________________ Problem as described by customer: Agent application on AIX generates core dump Initial customer impact (low/med/high): low
