Chapter 3 Monitoring and Backing Up the BTS

Moving Core Files

The BTS automatically removes these core files when disk space is critically low or the core file has aged beyond a maximum allowable time. However, to ensure proper BTS performance move these core files off the BTS to another storage area as soon as they are generated. Refer to the Directory Containing Core Files dataword for the location of the core file.

Use the settings in the cfm.cfg file to configure how to monitor and manage core files.
