Troubleshooting
Problem
Running an intensive analysis on a large dataset. Some of the runs succeed, however some fail with one or more of the following errors: "An unknown error has terminated communication with the processor. The SPSS Statistics Processor is unavailable” "No space left on device (DATA 1002)”
Cause
The error message is literally telling you that the area set aside for temp files is running out of space, therefore the program cannot continue.
Environment
Currently this issue has only been reported on the Windows platform.
Resolving The Problem
One or more of the following have successfully cleared up this error with past customers.
1) Clean out the TEMP area before running this job.
2) Break the job up into separate steps.
3) Redirect the temp files (in Edit -> Options -> File Locations) to a larger resource.
