Resolution

In this scenario, the recommendation is to instruct the client to run an ADAREP on the PSI database to determine the size of the database, the size of the PSTORE file, the use of blocks on the PSTORE file, and the amount of empty space on the database for ASSO and DATA.

To solve the issue, you can:

  1. Try rebuilding the FST of the PSTORE DB using the software ADADBS RECOVER. The RECOVER function recovers allocated space by rebuilding the free space table (FST). The RECOVER function subtracts file, DSST, and alternate RABN extents from the total available space.
  2. If it does not solve the error, the recommendation is: a) Increase the size of the database, and b) take action to reduce the number of records on the file.
