Problem:

Using AppTrack to reinitialize the COBOL AppServer with option 6, are there some files being overwritten or created? If so, what file(s) get updated or created when COBDIR/aslmf/apptrack option 6 is entered?

Resolution:

No files are reinitialized by $COBDIR/aslmf/apptrack option 6. Instead, the shared memory segments that are used by AppTrack are reinitialized based on the database/var/mfaslmf/mfasdb

To view the memory seqments used by AppTrack use 'ipcs -mob'. Look at the shared memory segments that are 6 bytes in size. These are aslmf segments (they will have segment keys commencing 0x741cc1... ) The NATTCH column shows how many processes are holding are holding aslmf licenses. Each attach represents one license unit. These segments are reinitialized automatically when you add or remove a license.
