The limit is on the Linux file system not the ESP Agent.
We have encountered 2 types of "space" issues.
- Used space/capacity is at 100%
- Directory file limit (this is dependent on the file system type, ext2, ext3, ext4 . . . )
To determine which of the conditions are occurring I use the Linux 'df' command with the options listed below:
Space (-k or -h with -T)
df -kT <ESP Agent Directory>
Filesystem Type 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
<filesystem>
ext4 3096336 657004 2282048 23% <ESP Agent Directory>
Number of files (-i)
df -i <ESP Agent Directory>
Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
<filesystem>
196608 9803 186805 5% <ESP Agent Directory>
We have some busy servers that create over 3000+ APPL.APPLGEN directories in the spool directory.
Our file system (ext3) had a limit of 32K, so after 10 days we experienced the "too many files" problem.
Initially we modified the spool cleanup interval from 30 days to 10, then to 7 days.
Was your issue “space/capacity” or “number of files?
If it is “space” you could also check out the DISK_MON Workload Object and run a job to cleanup when the threshold is exceeded.
Do you know what the average number of APPL.APPLGEN run per day?
Do you know what the file system type is?
Do you have access to the Linux Server?
