Environment

WCC 11.4 SP6 on Windows
Autosys 11.3.6 SP7 On Windows in HADS mode

Cause

Default value for variable DBSPACE_ALARM_SPACE is 2000 (2GB)

Client needs to set DBMaint with 365 days for database retention days , therefore the database size will be growing a lot

 

Resolution

The dbstatistics and dbspace commands ( which are also part of the DBMaint script) launched from the WCC Enterprise Command Line are executed via the Autosys Command Sponsor.

Added variable DBSPACE_ALARM_SPACE=4000 to below file on the Autosys Server

C:\Program Files (x86)\CA\SC\iTechnology\AutoSysCommandWrapper.<Instance>

No need to restart igateway
 

Additional Information

This variable can also be set as a system variable in Windows.

If HADS mode, the variable has to be set the same way on the Shadow machine
