SharePlex processes and programs immediately die after executing (4220073)

Immediately after starting sp_cop, sp_ctrl or any of the
SharePlex programs such as qview, sp_add_key etc, the process dies and exits

The SharePlex .app-modules/launcher has been zeroed out

Resolution 1

1. Go to PRODDIR

2. cd .app-modules

3. ls -l launcher*

4. Note the size of the file.

For example, in SharePlex 7.5.2:

-rwxrwxrwx 1 oracle oracle 4147 Apr 3 21:20 launcher

If the launcher has been zeroed out it would have zero bytes, example:

-rwxrwxrwx 1 oracle oracle 0 Apr 3 21:20 launcher

5. Look for another SharePlex replication of same version and copy the launcher to the .app-modules

6. Ensure the ownerships and permissions are the same as the original launcher

7. Modify the PRODDIR references in the script in the following lines:

Example Modify:

Line 1: #!/home/oracle/splex/prod75/.meta-inf/tools/bin/ruby

Line 3: ENV["PATH"] = (["/home/oracle/splex/prod75/.meta-inf/tools/bin"] + ENV.to_hash["PATH"].

Line 4: TOP = "/home/oracle/splex/prod75"

8. Save changes

9. Retry starting the SharePlex process that previously failed, such as sp_cop, sp_ctrl, qview, etc.

Resolution 2

If there is no other copy of an existing SharePlex replication, re-install the software in another directory and copy the .app-modules/launcher from the new installation to the existing .app-modules where the launcher has been zeroed out

Resolution 3

Reinstall the SharePlex software
