Unable to create temporary cache file

Post by admin »

Hi all,

Im working with DS 4.0.2 on NT4.0 platform.

Executing a job with many hashed file with more then 5 pre-load in memory option checked, I have a log message like this for every pre-load in memory exceeded:

JobName.HashStageName.LinkName: add_to_heap() - Unable to create temporary cache file. Check that there is sufficient disk space.

The disk space is sufficient!

On a Sun platform I solved this problem increasing the kernel parameter related to the max number of file that a process can keep open at the same time (rlim_fd_max).

Does exists a similar solution about NT4.0 platform? In other words: is there a parameter to set the max number of files that a process can keep open at the same time?

Regards,

Alessio

Have you tried to increase the amount of virtual memory, by doing so you are
increasing the disk space that the swap file can take in the HD, idont
know if that will solve your problem but is worth to give it a shot.
