Error description
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Provide a KCA environment variable to allow for over-riding the location where the kcawd.pid file is written and searched for. This will allow the file which is a read-write file to be placed in a separate directory for customers wanting to separate read-only and read-write files. The change requires an update to several scripts to modify the kcawd.pid file location. RECREATE INSTRUCTIONS:
Local fix
Problem summary
Provide an environment variable to allow for overriding location where kcawd.pid and .kcawd_disable_stop files are written. These files are currently written to $CANDLEHOME/$BINARCH/<pc>/bin directory. Customers who want to have these files written to a different location, in order to allow just 'Read-Only' files in the bin directory, can use the new environment variable KCAWD_WRITE_DIR. The new enviroment variable KCAWD_WRITE_DIR can be set in ux.ini or lz.ini file and must be set to an existing directory with read-write permissions. For example: KCAWD_WRITE_DIR=$CANDLEHOME$/tmp NOTE: This new feature is supported by UNIX and Linux OS Agents using Watchdog.
Problem conclusion
Code has been updated to check for the existence of KCAWD_WRITE_DIR and if set to a valid directory, the files are written to that location. If the environment variable is not set or the directory specified does not exist, the current, default directory of $CANDLEHOME/$BINARCH/<pc>/bin will be used.
