APT_BufferFile full but job does not abort ?!

buffer(3),0: APT_BufferFile: unable to create file 000000000000001c: No such file or directory
APT_BufferFile: unable to create file 000000000000001d: No such file or directory

however, the job doesn't abort.

Hi,
I have encountered the same kind of issue. I have received a fatal error as specified above. But the job doesn't abort. The thread was marked as resolved so I am starting a new thread.

Shouldn't the job abort when the buffer is full? Why does it not abort?

Thanks!

It should abort. There might be other reason for not aborting. Could you please pass more detail?

i am not really sure what more i can tell, the same job fails if the disk space or the scratch space becomes full... which is appropriate... but the job does not fail when the buffer file is full.

i hope someone can explain APT_Bufferfile is and how it functions, etc..

thanks very much!

What is your job design and what is amount of records that is getting processed?
Do you see the scratch disk space getting full when you run the job?
What is the value of APT_BUFFER_MAXIMUM_MEMORY in your project?
