Flexeraak1: No space left on device

###

 

 

 

 

Environment

Workload Automation System Agent

Cause

Agent upgrade failed due to not enough space on the system /tmp directory during the upgrade process.

Resolution

Set the IATEMPDIR environment variable for the agent installation program to use another temporary directory during the agent upgrade process.

For example;

IATEMPDIR=/opt/CAWA/temp_dir
export IATEMPDIR

where, /opt/CAWA/temp_dir overrides the /tmp directory.
