ERROR: Local CASLIB quota exceeded.

[klroesner]

Hello World,

We are trying to run a random forest model in SAS Viya 3.4 VDMML and keep getting this error. Does anyone know what this means? And what is meant by 'quota'? We have not set any OS quota. And maybe one more question where the astore file _6WR5KOEIE2Y4J12PNBZEZAR3Y_AST is written to?

Thanks,

Klaus

There seems to be some quota setting so that a process can't take down the server. Documentation here.

Global caslib Policy

Because global caslibs apply to all users, global caslibs have a unique policy.

POLICY DEFINITION

globalCaslibs
   _ALL_         quota
   [global-caslib  quota]
   [...]

global-caslib

specifies a global caslib.

quota

specifies the maximum amount of disk cache space, in bytes, that global-caslib can use.

_ALL_

specifies all global caslibs.

When _ALL_ is specified, quota specifies the total amount of disk cache space that can be used for all global tables, regardless of the caslibs to which the tables belong.

Example

  globalCaslibs 
     _ALL_      400000000 
     HPS        200000000 
     MyGlobal   100000000 

  [CAS-server-priority-n
     cpu               - share
     globalCasuser     - quota
     globalCasuserHdfs - quota
     sessionTables     - quota]
