Answer those and you can fix the problem.
Meanwhile, also consider getting the application 'fixed'. By definition, a production app does not coredump. Because it has been correctly and fully tested, for one good reason. We had a process that dumped core for several years because the manager would not let anyone address the problem. Literally.
Thanks for the reply.
The application is run as a script. I'm not well versed with Solaris OS, so i'm not able to answer your other two questions. Can you please guide me.
Yes we are considering fixing the application, meanwhile thinking of this option to limit coredump size as a workaround

NAME
APP - Show / manipulate APP TLV configuration
SYNOPSIS
lldptool -t -i ethx -V APP [-c app]
lldptool -T -i ethx -V APP [-d] app=prio,sel,pid
DESCRIPTION
The APP TLV is an informational TLV and will advertise the current configured application table. If the peer APP TLV and a local APP TLV
match the same selector and protocol field the local parameter is used.
ARGUMENTS
app Configures a local application data field using the three parameters priority (prio), selector (sel), and protocol (pid). The -d
option can be provided to remove an entry which matches the three parameters.
Theory of Operations
The APP TLV is an informational TLV for most end stations it is not expected that setting APP data should be required. Peer data will be
processed and added to the application data table by default assuming there does not already exist a local entry with matching selector and
priority fields.
By adding APP data to the application table it is available for applications, eg iscsid, to query. Applications query for a specific proto-
col and selector and may use this data to map traffic to the corresponding traffic class.
EXAMPLE & USAGE
Configure ISCSI application for priority 4 on eth2
lldptool -T -i eth2 -V APP app=4,2,3260
Configure FCoE application for priority 3 on eth2
lldptool -T -i eth2 -V APP app=3,1,35078
Remove FCoE application for priority 3 on eth2
lldptool -T -i eth2 -V APP -d app=3,1,35078
Display locally configured application table on eth2
lldptool -t -i eth2 -V APP -c app
Display last transmitted APP TLV on eth2
lldptool -t -i eth2 -V APP

NOTES
Currently changing the default priority is not supported by default it is set to zero.
