disk space full causing datastage to work weird

Post by SonShe »

Due to disk space being nearly full the jobs did not function properly. The jobs either aborted without any error message. The logs in the director also could not be opened.

I though the datastage server could be stopped and restarted. I did that. After restart, I can't login to any project. What I can o now?

Running out of disk space on your data drives is recoverable, running out of disk space on your software drive is as lethal on a DataStage server as it is on a Windows desktop.

Did your server really restart? It is likely you have a port timeout pending. Open up the DataStage Install and Upgrade Guide and do a search for the term "netstat". It explains why your server does not always restart.

You may need to clear out some status files of jobs that were running when you ran out of disk space. There is a clear status file option in Director.

Try to keep your software drive seperate to your data drive (sequential files etc) and allow a lot of extra space for growth of DataStage log files.
