<PPM_Home>/utilities
The utilities
subdirectory contains scripts for granting the SYS-level privileges to the OpenText PPM database schema, and for creating the OpenText PPM users required for installing or upgrading OpenText PPM. It also contains diagnostic tools for troubleshooting OpenText PPM installation, and the Watchdog tool.
kWatchdog.sh
This script is used to run the Watchdog tool. Watchdog is a stand-alone tool that issues a command to generate a thread dump whenever memory exceeds the configured threshold after a full garbage collection (GC). This tool requires that the Java garbage collection log be turned on at startup.
Run the command:
sh ./kWatchdog.sh pid
For more detailed information about the watchdog tool and the requirements for using it, see Using the Watchdog Tool.
