Jobs database error

Hello:

We're getting this error message when trying to save some of the changes we've made to several jobs:

'There is not enough free disk space to save the job database. Free some space and try again'.

Can you tell us how to change the configurations so I can increase the file size of the file that holds the jobs database?

Thanks for your help

The size of the job database file is not restricted and completely dynamic, driven by the contents. The error occurred because the scheduler was unable to write to the file and somehow it decided it was because you ran out of disk space on the device.

If the space is not an issue, check who owns the job database file. If the file is owned by another user, please ensure you have permissions read and write permissions. chown and chmod system commands can be used to change ownership and permissions.

I still believe this is a configuration/software issue. The permissions on the job database file are set to 777, everyone can read,write and execute it. We're still unable to save the job database.

Do you have any space quotas?
Do you have permissions on the directory level?

Please try creating a test job of JavaScript type with the following contents
var text = "The first line\nThe second line";
File.save("/home/scheduler/test.txt", text);

Here, in the script replace /home/scheduler with the path to the scheduler directory. Run the job in Run Now mode and check if the file test.txt is created.

Thank you for your help. This issue was resolved when we changed the permissions on the directory level.
Best regards.
