Hi,

We are getting the following error in out production box wherever hash partitioning/sorting is done on the link (No external sort stage)

Fatal Error: mmap failed: Not enough space

When i checked the forum, it was suggested that an environment variable "APT_TSORT_STRESS_BLOCKSIZE" to be set to higher value. But I dont see it to be listed in Administrator.

How to set this environment variable? Can we just pass this as a parameter? Changing to external sort would be time consuming as we have lot jobs to change. Please advice.

Thanks,
Firvin

There are lots of environment variables you can find in the manual that are not in the list in the Administrator. You can create any "user defined" environment variable definitions using the Administrator client.

Thanks for the info Ray.

If it is user defined, is it necessary that it should be added to "User Defined" list in Administrator or I can directly pass it to job?

The job parameters grid can only select environment variables that have been defined in Administrator. Therefore you need to add it to Administrator first. Used Defined is as good a folder as any - getting it into the other folders is possible but tedious and more difficult to maintain.

APT_TSORT_STRESS_BLOCKSIZE Parameter . we are using HPUnix
issue i feel is beacuse 32 bit limitation with datastage 7.5 so it wont use more then 1.75 GB of shared memory
