Good Lord, have some fricking patience. It's the crack of morning for some of us (and a weekend to boot) and you waited what, not even an hour before you started banging on the walls? Give me a break.

You can't figure out why you get an error that specifically states No space left on device? It means... there's no space left on the device. It's full. It could mean where you wrote the .ds descriptor file but more than likely it's your resource disk area called out in your config file. Check.

May be you can check the space in /var directory of unix system.

The file system on which /xxx/yyy is mounted is full. All of that information is in the error message.

There is only one cure for full file systems.

If you need sub-one-hour response from official support, sign up with them for premium service and learn just how costly "urgent" can be.

As they say: lack of preparation on your part does not constitute an emergency on ours.

I was new to Datastage,
can anyone explain where to check the .ds descriptor file

How to overcome the resource disk area called out in the config file.

Thanks in advance,

From where have to deleted the Dataset, unix or through datastage 'Dataset Management'?
If you have deleted from unix, probably u have only deleted the header and not the actual data.

Check in the unix box where dataset is being written n delete from there...
Else go to Ds director, Select 'Tools' --> 'Dataset Management' --> Select the dataset u want to delete...

And even if after cleaning up various dataset.. enough space is not left then try deleting the unused files which have been created by your various processes...

Note: While deleting make sure you dont delete some critical config files
