Symptoms

On all versions of Oracle Communications Network Charging and Control (NCC), all Service Logic Execution Environment (SLEE) applications rely on ftok() (when called with a file name) to return a key which can be used to address the SLEE shared memory.

The temporary SLEE file used is based on the SLEE_FILE environment variable which when unset, will default to /tmp/slee.  If this file does not exist when the SLEE first starts up, it is created.

If this file is accidentally deleted, then any new applications trying to connect to the SLEE will throw the following error:

and upon startup, will fail since it is not able to communicate with any running SLEE applications.  This includes the scripts/binaries used to stop the SLEE if the file is deleted while the SLEE is running.

Changes

Deletion of /tmp/slee.
