Hi ! I have a problem

In project directory I see that DS create DS_TEMP files of Dynamic hash file and I dont understand why.

I check I use "Create file" in all my jobs where I create the hashed file .

Hi,
Theese files are part of the jobs designs you develop
Each job has the following list of hashfiles/directories created where nnn stands for the job id assigned to the job:
DS_TEMPnnn
RT_BPnnn
RT_BPnnn.O
RT_CONFIGnnn
RT_LOGnnn
RT_STATUSnnn

Keep in mind that this is the project's specific repository.
This is why I prefer using directory path files over account hash files.

IHTH,

Why They are with TYpe "F" ? And why I can Delete then and the job still run ok ? Doesnt it mean that these files are result of my bug job design ?

You need more disk space.

Deleting anything created by dsapi_server or dsapi_slave (the agent processes for connected DataStage clients) is at your own risk entirely.

The DS_TEMPnnn hashed files have been being created since your first job in which there was any dependency of one stage upon another. If, as you claim, it has only begun recently, then all of your earlier jobs must be very simple indeed.
