Dump Parameters (UNIX)

Use the following parameters to control the types and location of core dumps that are performed if the database server fails. For more information, see Monitoring for Data Inconsistency.

Configuration Parameter Description
DUMPCNT Specifies the number of assertion failures for which a single thread dumps shared memory.
DUMPCORE Controls whether assertion failures cause a virtual processor to dump core memory.
DUMPDIR Specifies a directory where the database server places dumps of shared memory, gcore files, or messages from a failed assertion.
DUMPGCORE If your operating system supports the gcore utility, an assertion failure causes the database server to call gcore.
DUMPSHMEM Specifies that shared memory should be dumped on an assertion failure.
