upper-memory-usage-exit (AIX only)

Identifies the exit program/script to run when the server memory usage passes above the percentage defined in the upper-memory-usage-threshold server attribute. This program/script defines the action to take when the server encounters a memory constrained situation.

GUI label

Upper memory usage exit

Type

Resettable, single-valued

Allowed Values

The path and name of the exit program/script to run when the server memory usage passes above the value defined with the upper-memory-usage-threshold server attribute.

Note: You do not need to specify the path if the program/script is located in a directory in the system's default path.

Default Value

No default value.

Usage Guidelines

  • The upper-memory-usage-exit server attribute values allow substitution of various things in the generated command to run the exit program. This way the exit program can be more sophisticated, and it can include conditional logic based on the values of passed arguments. If any of these strings are found in the exit attribute value, the specified data is substituted for it in the general command:
    %s
    Server name
    %t
    Threshold value (value of upper-memory-usage-threshold attribute)

    For example, if the exit attribute has a value of memprob %s in server pumbaa, when the server invokes the memory usage exit, it passes pumbaa as the first argument.

  • If either upper-memory-usage-exit or upper-memory-usage-threshold are empty, no upper-memory-usage-exit processing is done.
