Temporary Files and Named Pipes

Enterprise Server License Manager uses named pipes for communicating between Enterprise Server and the License Manager. These named pipes reside by default in the /tmp directory (or more precisely in the directory specified by P_tmpdir in the header file /usr/include/stdio.h). The following named pipes are used:

Note: Note:

It is important to avoid destroying the ESLMF-common pipe. This can happen if, for instance, you delete all files in the P_tmpdir directory. If you do accidentally destroy this pipe, you can recover, by killing the License Manager and restarting it. See Recovering from a destroyed ESLMF-common pipe.

Enterprise Server License Manager is used in the same way as the development system License Manager. If you have the development system installed, see the section Temporary Files in the chapter Administering the License Manager in your Development System Licensing Guide.
