Products

• Workload Automation Agent
• Autosys Workload Automation

Issue/Introduction

Installation of the Workload Automation Agent 12.1.01 fails on new Amazon Linux 2023 (AL2023) servers. The installation may abort during the extraction phase.

Symptoms:

• Installation Abort: The cawa_installer.log or AutoSys_Workload_Automation_Install_####.log contains the following error: [CAUAJM_E_115006] The available disk space is: "####" MB. The minimum required disk space is: "2,048" MB. Free some space in the TEMP directory and try again.

Environment

Components:

• Workload Automation Agent
• Autosys Workload Automation

Operating System: 

• Amazon Linux 2023 (AL2023)

Cause

The installer requires a minimum of 2,048 MB (2 GB) of free space in the /tmp directory. In the reported case, the environment only had ~1,951 MB available.

Resolution

To resolve the [CAUAJM_E_115006] error, ensure the installer has access to 2 GB of temporary space. You can follow one of these options:

Option 1: Redirect the Temp Directory (Recommended)

Redirect the temporary directory to a larger partition using the IATEMPDIR variable:

1. Create or identify a directory with at least 2 GB of space (e.g., /your/large/disk/space/temp).
2. Set the environment variable: export IATEMPDIR=/your/large/disk/space/temp
3. Rerun the installer.

Option 2: Clean Up the Existing Temp Directory

If you cannot redirect the Temp directory to a larger partition, you can free up space by clearing out unnecessary files in /tmp to meet the 2 GB threshold.

1. Identify large files (e.g., ls -lh /tmp | sort -rh | head -n 10)
2. Remove old logs or temporary files that are no longer in use.
3. Rerun the installer.
