How can I check if variables SCHED_SCALE and DB_CONNECTIONS have been picked up by the scheduler and application server on Linux RedHat ?
1) First of all you have to determine the PID of the running process which is either "event_demon" for the scheduler and "as_server" for the application server
For example
ps -ef |grep event_demon
autosys 6426 1 3 Sep20 ? 00:50:20 event_demon -A ORA
2) Secondly you have to look into directory /proc/<PID> which belongs to the PID of your process name
cd /proc/6426
3) Finally run the "strings" command against file "environ" to get the variable you are looking for
strings environ |grep SCHED_SCALE
Result is for example: SCHED_SCALE=10
You can repeat same steps for any other process and any other variable like DB_CONNECTIONS
strings environ |grep DB_CONNECTIONS
DB_CONNECTIONS=32
