Broker monitor does not start on HPUX - Software AG webMethods FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions

Problem

The following error might be encountered on HPUX:

mymachine:wmethods > /opt/webmethods/Broker/S45broker61 start
/opt/webmethods/Broker/S45broker61[106]: ulimit: The specified value exceeds the user's allowable limit.

Solution

The broker's S45broker6 script will not startup on HPUX, you need to add the following line to the config (see the line marked "#NL - added ..":

case `uname` in
 OSF1*)
      # OSF1 does not support ulimit -H -n 8192
      ULIMIT_CMD=""
      ;;
 AIX*)
      # AIX thread creation bug workaround
      AIXTHREAD_MNRATIO=1:1
      export AIXTHREAD_MNRATIO
      ULIMIT_CMD="ulimit -H -n 8192"
      ;;
 *)
      ULIMIT_CMD="ulimit -H -n 8192"
      ;;
esac

#NL - added the line below
ULIMIT_CMD=""
