Hi,

Thanks for your inputs. Could you please let us know if there are a list of known dependencies gpg and the most notable ones? We shall look out if we can narrow down to the problem.

The gpg process is not running as a daemon on the server. Its a stand alone software which is invoked by the batch scripts (shell scripts) at scheduled times run by admin ids.
There is no centralized trustdb for all the id's. There are individual trustdbs for all the admin ids in their own home directories. The trustdbs are not expected to be corrupted and are in tact.
Please find the encryption outputs run with debug options on the server where it is working and where it isnt.

Depending on how you installed it (a bff-file or a rpm-package) use the "lslpp"- or the "rpm"-command to list the dependencies.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for your inputs. I wanted to consolidate some more observations below :

WRITE/EDIT OPTIONS ARE ONLY FAILING :

Trying to do an encryption :

//home> truss /opt/TWWfsw/bin/gpg --verbose --default-recipient-self --yes --encrypt-files sample2 > truss.out

gpg: ELG-E/AES256 encrypted for: "D8CDFRRG test01 (test ods) <adserr@abc.com>"
gpg: out of memory while allocating 8192 bytes

Please note that it is failing while trying to read the data and write it in the encrypted format.

Or when we tried editing the keys :

Hence, the gpg is trying to use some memory for the write/edits that is currently failing. If we would be able to figure out this memory where it is temporarily trying to store data, we would be able to crack the issue.

The question may be rather why it is trying to use this memory. Perhaps an incompatible version of a library it uses is causing a code error of some sort.
