Hi,
When using merge stage with a large volume of data I am getting scratch space error.How can I resolve this issue?
I don't have any admin privilage.
Is there any environment variable by which we can increase the scratch space?

You would either need to request the size of your scratch area be increased or point your job to a different, meaning larger area.

The only way that scratch space can be increased is to use a configuration file that specifies more scratch space.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Can you please let me know which configuration file needs to be changed and the exact procedure?

The default configuration file is called default.apt. Other configuration files may exist on your system. They can be seen using the Configurations editor (available from the Tools menu in Designer). Whether you can edit or create configuration files is dependent on security at your site. As for what to include, consult the manuals and involve your UNIX system administrator.
