IJ02065: STANDARD INPUT PROBE : CORE DUMPs on 64-bit platforms

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• The stdin probe is a 32-bit probe, so crashes when it
  tries to read a file with an inode count greater than
  the maxint for 32 bits.
  
  Error: E-NHT-102-094: Failed to read the HTTPD configuration
  file
  '/opt/IBM/tivoli/netcool/omnibus/etc/libnhttpd.json'.
  (75:Value too large for defined data type).
  
  On working system:
  ls -i
  /opt/IBM/tivoli/netcool/omnibus/etc/libnhttpd.json
  902425
  
  On the failing system:
  ls -i
  /opt/IBM/tivoli/netcool/omnibus/etc/libnhttpd.json
  21476267069
  

Local fix

• Workaround is reference a file whose inode is suitable for
  32-bit addressing.
  e.g.
  If there is a smaller disk partition, try creating a copy of the
  file there.
  e.g.
  mkdir /var/tmp/32bit
  cp /opt/IBM/tivoli/netcool/omnibus/etc/libnhttpd.json
  /var/tmp/32bit
  ls -i /var/tmp/32bit/libnhttpd.json
  107405
  
  Then reference this file in the probe property file:
  NHttpd.ConfigFile: '/var/tmp/32bit/libnhttpd.json'
  
  You can also try tarring up a libnhttpd.json file from a working
  system and moving the untarred file to replace the problematic
  file. Remembering to check the files using 'ls -i'.
