Issue/Introduction

File /tmp/dmprimer.log is very big and is growing.

Why and how to avoid this ?

Environment

Client Automation - All Versions

Linux Agent

Cause

There are 2 running process dm_primer

Example :

root      5863     1  0 Jul10 ?        00:04:29 ./dm_primer start
root      1675     1  0 Jul10 ?        01:11:08 ./dm_primer start

Resolution

Workaround :

 

- Kill the 2 process dm_primer

pkill dm_primer

 

- Delete the file /tmp/dmprimer.log

rm /tmp/dmprimer.log

 

- Start again a new dm_primer

cd /opt/CA/DSM/dmprimer/bin

./dm_primer start

 

 

 

 

A fix for Linux Agent 14.5.0.210 (64 bits agent) exists to avoid this problem. This fix delivers a new version of dm_primer
