Two people in my organisation encounter a problem in SAS Enterprise Guid 7.1. Before it works fine and they used SASEG a lot. But from the start of Sept 23, they could start SAS EG and libraries came up (were defined), but as soon as a table in a library was opened an error appears which said: 'Insufficient disc space.'

 

I have tried many thins to check. Disc quota for these particular users. Check the AD groups: they are registered correctly in SAS Man Console. I also emptied there workspaces.

Checked also the content of workspaces of colleques. Those spaces are all gathered at a specific disc.

No succesfully result. Does anyone have any idea?

My guess would be : insufficient workspace.

 

Are you already using the "Cleanwork Utility" from SAS?
https://go.documentation.sas.com/doc/en/pgmsascdc/9.4_3.5/hostwin/n0j43jculk2kasn1qh5h12f3kl3z.htm

 

This utility cleans up WORK directories that are no longer associated with an active SAS session.
If SAS is closed in a careless and unorthodox manner (by the user or by the software itself) the working directory may not be cleaned up. These "stale" work directories pile up.

 

But for such a problem you should actually contact SAS Technical Support in your country.

Thx Koen for your help and suggestion. Those temporary folders I already removed for this particular user. With no effect. Maybe there is somewhere an other folder in which those teno files can be hosted. I will check this.

Hello,

 

Where do the utility files go?

I believe by default  UTILLOC=WORK , but maybe they are sent elsewhere in your SAS environment.

UTILLOC= is a system option.

 

Submit this piece of code (you will find out about the destination directories):

[ UTILLOC= is in the 2nd category (sasfiles). ]

proc options group=ENVFILES; run; /* Category: Environment Control: Files */ 
proc options group=SASFILES; run; /* Category: Files: SAS Files           */

BR,
Koen
