ANR0534W
Transaction failed for session session number for node node name (client platform) - size estimate exceeded and server is unable to obtain additional space in storage pool pool name.

Explanation

The server ends a database update transaction for the specified session because the size estimate provided by the client is too small. The server has attempted to obtain additional space in the indicated storage pool, but was unable to do so.

System action

The specified session is ended and server operation continues. If pool name is a random access storage pool with caching enabled, it is also possible that additional space can be made available in this storage pool by eliminating cached files. When the server allocates space based on the size estimate provided by the client, it frees space occupied by cached files if this space is needed to obtain the estimated space. However, if the server later determines that the file size estimate was too low, it attempts to obtain additional space that is not utilized, but does not delete cached files to do so. If the client sending the data has the option COMPRESSALWAYS YES set, it is possible that a file grew during the compression operation and when the client sent it to the server it exceeded the space available in storage pool pool name.

User response

This message may indicate that there is no additional space in pool name. The following are possible circumventions:

An authorized administrator can issue the DEFINE VOLUME command to add storage to this pool.

If the suspected cause of the failure is that pool name is a DISK storage pool and that space in use by cached files was not freed, turn off caching for the storage pool and issue the MOVE DATA command for the volumes in pool pool name.

If the suspected cause of the failure is that a file grew in size during compression on the client, another possible circumvention is to set the COMPRESSALWAYS option in the client options file to NO and retry the operation. This may allow the client to accurately report the file size and possibly avoid the out of space condition in the storage pool.
