Summary :
This SAP Note addresses the issue of large core files generated during work process crashes on UNIX systems, potentially leading to file system overflow. It clarifies that these dumps are stored in /usr/sap/SID//work and offers several strategies to manage core file size and storage. Options include limiting the core size on systems like AIX, preventing core file creation, redirecting core files to a filesystem with ample space, or linking the core to /dev/null to discard it. Each method carries implications for subsequent system analysis, with specific restrictions mentioned for SINIX systems.

Key words :
cd /usr/sap/<sid>/<instance>/work     rm core     touch core     chmod 000 corethen, cd /usr/sap/<sid>/<instance>/work     rm core     ln -, cd /usr/sap/<sid>/<instance>/work     rm core    ln -, additional key words core dump disp+work, subdirectory /usr/sap/sid/<instance>/work, /bigdisk/core corethe core, core size user-specifically, makes core analysis impossible, work process crashes, /dev/null coreob
