Hi,
We have a job running daily, which uses program RFDOPR10 & a custom variant.
This job fails a few times a month (1-3), with ST22 showing Extract files errors like EXTRACT_READ_ERROR & EXTRACT_OPEN_EXTRACTFILE_OPEN (Could not open the extract file "/archive/PR5/arch_transfer//E000005M" for writing.)
The data is stored in field groups and then extracted with the extract statement.
According to [http://help.sap.com/SAPHELP_NW04S/helpdata/en/9f/db9ed135c111d1829f0000e829fbfe/content.htm] , u201CExtracts larger than 500 KB are stored in operating system files. The practical size of an extract is up to 2 GB, as long as there is enough space in the file system.u201D
Could this be happening because the extracts for some cases are very large but there isnu2019t enough memory in the system or a limit to the memory for extracts? Why else would this happen? Like I said, the job works fine for weeks and then fails with these extract errors.
Please help. Thanks.
