How to prevent loss of disk space or high disk-space utilization in /tmp on the Operations host in SAS® Viya® 3.x


To prevent running out of disk space in /tmp on the host that is assigned to the Operations host group in sas_viya_playbook/inventory.ini, set a custom WORK= system option in the sasv9_local.cfg file. The file is located in /opt/sas/spre/home/SASFoundation/.

The extract, transform, load (ETL) jobs for the Operations host use the default WORK path of /tmp unless a custom setting is enabled, as shown below.

For example, to use /mnt/scratchdisk for WORK, enter the following setting in the sasv9_local.cfg file:

-WORK /mnt/scratchdisk
