Status: Verified
SYMPTOM(s):
Database shuts down abnormally with error (10601).
SYSTEM ERROR: Attempted to exceed maximum size on file <pname>. (10601)
SYSTEM ERROR: Unable to extend database within area <pareaName>. (8897)
Database can be restarted and crash recovery can take place.
Errors referring to a data extent while attempting to update database.
FACT(s) (Environment):
All Supported Operating Systems
OpenEdge 10.x
CAUSE:
A variable length extent needs to exceed the 2 GB file size limit to accommodate writes and LargeFiles have not been enabled.
FIX:
- Ensure there is a valid backup of the Progress database
- Verify where there are available space on the file system
- Use the prostrct utility to add additional extents for the area referred in the (10601) or (8897) error message:
$ prostrct add dbname add.st
- Alternatively, consider enabling LargeFiles against the database if the product release and the Operating System supports this.
