  • 1.  About DisablePidFileLock Property of NCO Probe

    Posted Wed April 19, 2023 01:56 AM
    Edited by Ken Iida Wed April 19, 2023 01:57 AM

    I use Netcool/OMNIbus 8.1.0.
    It seems that the property DisablePidFileLock can be used with some Probes, but it doesn't seem to be described in the official manual.
    Will I get support from IBM if I use this?

    is this what you need ?

    https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/disablepidfilelock-property-and-ending-message-bus-probe-process-cleanly

    to see if a probe supports it. 

    ./nco_p_message_bus -dumpprops ..  and look for the parameter

    Is this property only available for message bus probe?
    Can it be used with other probes?

    Google "netcool disablepidfilelock" and you'll find links like this, which is for the JDBC probe:

    Properties and command line options

    On the left side of the page you'll see the full list of probes, each of which has its own "Properties and command line options" link, which will show you if a particular probe supports the disablepidfile option (if you don't want to take Mario's much more pragmatic advice to dump the properties for the probe of interest to you).

    To see if the DisablePidFileLock property [or any property] is available for a probe use -dumpprops.

    e.g.

    $NCHOME/omnibus/probes/nco_p_email -dumpprops

    ...

    ConfigKeyFile: '' # STRING (Location of the file containing the key for encrypted config values and files)
    DeleteEmails: 'true' # STRING (No description available)
    DisableDetails: 0 # INTEGER (No description available)
    DynamicMetaData: 0 # INTEGER (No description available)
    EmailSocketTimeOut: 10 # INTEGER (No description available)

    ...

    $NCHOME/omnibus/probes/nco_p_message_bus -dumpprops

    ...

    Cookie: '' # STRING (No description available)
    DataBackupFile: '' # STRING (No description available)
    DisableDetails: 0 # INTEGER (No description available)
    DisablePidFileLock: 'false' # STRING (No description available)
    DisconnectionTimeout: 15 # INTEGER (No description available)
    DynamicMetaData: 0 # INTEGER (No description available)
    EnableSSL: 'false' # STRING (No description available)

    ...
