sounds like a plan and if the first change does not work you can fail over to the other system.
fix, rinse and repeat but...
You should make sure that everything works on a non Active/Passive system first. As we all know, getting the new path setup with the right attributes (ownership, permissions etc) is often a PITA with Unix systems. Check, check and triple check before switching over.

Every time you reinvent the wheel the more square it gets (anon). If in doubt think and investigate before you ask silly questions. |

We added these lines in the .profile user file:
| Code: |
IBM_HEAP_DUMP=TRUE
IBM_HEAPDUMP_OUTOFMEMORY=TRUE
IBM_JAVADUMP_OUTOFMEMORY=TRUE
IBM_HEAPDUMPDIR=<NEW_PATH>
IBM_JAVACOREDIR=<NEW_PATH>
IBM_COREDIR=<NEW_PATH>
export IBM_HEAP_DUMP
export IBM_HEAPDUMP_OUTOFMEMORY
export IBM_JAVADUMP_OUTOFMEMORY
export IBM_HEAPDUMPDIR
export IBM_JAVACOREDIR
export IBM_COREDIR |
Logged out, logged in, restarted the broker, but the dumps are still generated in the old path.
Any idea?
Thanks in advance. |

After logging back in did you verify that the variables had been set:
| Code: |
| echo heapdumpdir=${IBM_HEAPDUMPDIR} etc... |
You will also have to check what is in the user's profile. May be you added it to the wrong profile?
Have fun

Thanks @fjb_saper. Yes! I was tested with echo and the broker was started with this user. |

It's possible these get overwritten by mqsiprofile...
It's probably "better" (?) to add mqsiprofile to the .profile of the user, and then put in your environment variable overrides.
Or put the overrides in a batch script in the common/{whatever(?)} directory that gets run by mqsiprofile automatically.

Well.. in fact this line is just before the variables definition/exportation within the .profile file:
| Code: |
| . /opt/IBM/mqsi/9.0.0.6/bin/mqsiprofile |
So, they should not get overwritten..  |

IBM suggested us that AIX could be overwriting these variables. But in fact the lscore command tell us that there is not path defined:
| Code: |
mqsi:/home/mqsi @ host > lscore mqsi
compression: off
path specification: off
corefile location: not set
naming specification: off
mqsi:/home/mqsi @ host > lscore -d
compression: off
path specification: off
corefile location: not set
naming specification: off |
We are waiting for their response.
Any idea? Could be something related to the broker start up? |

The AIX command "ps ewww {pid}", where "{pid}" is the process id of a running process, will display the environment associated with that process. Use that to confirm what environment the broker processes are inheriting from the parent shell. |
