Not Enough Space

Post by cherry »

Hi All,

When I run a job, I get the following Fatal error message:

"D:/IBM/InformationServer/Server/Datasets/lookuptable.20081028.entx23d (size 1623935520 bytes)": Not enough space

When I go to the particular path there is no such kind of file exits. I have enough space in the specified drive.

Could some one please help me how to handle this.

Best Regards
Cherry

The file does not exist becase DataStage determined that there was not enough space to create it.
Do you have at least 1623935520 bytes free on D:/IBM/InformationServer/Server/Datasets while the job is running (note that other Data Sets will also need space here)?

There is about total of 60 GB free on the D Drive. Since this is windows, I guess that the entire space that is available would be taken by the processes. please let me know if I am wrong.

Is your job doing a lookup or a sort. What size is the reference data to the lookup or the the data being sorted?
If it is trying to do either of these in memory with about 1.6GB of data (as per the message) you can expect it to fail as Windows cannot allocate this much memory for these processes. Try changing your job design.

Re: LookupTable error message: Permission Denied

Post by Nicole »

Hi. I am writing with a similar issue using the lookup stage. I am getting a permission denied. Here is the message:

Could not create/truncate table file "/workarea/DataStage/DataSets/lookuptable.20081105.ndqynaa": Permission denied

It seems kind of obvious now, but is this because I need permission to write to this particular directory?

Thanks in advance,

Nicole

:!: Nicole - please start your own post. Your issue is completely different from the one being discussed here.
