Parameter: semaphoreWaitTime

Startup parameters change the behavior of the Service Manager server. You can always set a startup parameter from the server's operating system command prompt.

Parameter

semaphoreWaitTime

Description

This parameter defines the number of seconds the Service Manager server waits for a semaphore before generating a core dump. The default is 0 (no core dump will be generated).

Note This parameter takes effect on Windows servers only.

To use this functionality, be sure to set the enablecoredump parameter to 1. The following table describes the server behavior when these two parameters are set to 1 or 0.
