Problem summary
**************************************************************** USERS AFFECTED: Users of Ops Console **************************************************************** PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: On Unix, when DSAppWatcher is started via the ds.rc file, in some circumstances it can report its applications as not running. This is caused by the ps listing used to identify its applications being truncated, therefore it cannot determine that the applications are running. This is also an issue for the Service manager code, which also checks for its applications, such as jobmonapp using a ps listing. This can be due to a COLUMNS environment variable, which may be set on some systems, which limits the size of the ps listings. If this variable is set then the application status will not be reported correctly. On Solaris, ps listings can also be truncated if the user invoking the ps listing does not have access to all the processes. **************************************************************** RECOMMENDATION: Apply patch JR43885 ****************************************************************
Problem conclusion
Make sure any COLUMNS env var is unset before running ps commands to check Ops Console applications are running. Check whether JobMonApp is running using the JobMonApp control file rather than just the ps listing.
