When pulling data off of our Teradata DB w/ Fast Export via UNIX Solaris 2.8, the script erred with the following out out.

**** 18:38:16 UTY8724 Select request submitted to the RDBMS.

**** 19:55:10 UTY8721 Error attempting to write file

After examining the file system to see if it was full I noticed that the file was near 2GB.
I checked with our UNIX system admin to see if the box I was landing the data on had any file size limitations. According to the sysadmin the OS can support file sizes larger then 2 GB, and indicated we are not running Veritas. Just to humor me the sysadmin then showed me files on the system that were larger then 2 GB.

Having eliminated the 'landing zone' my attention has turned to the host. So far the people I have talked to haven't had much insight as to what the problem might be or if I can fix it. They recommended I open a ticket with NCR. Before I do that I wanted to reach out to the community to see if anyone else has had a similar problem.

Has anyone had a problem with file size limits with Teradata Fast Export? If anyone has a fix for this problem or ideas on how I can further my search I would really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Rob

The max file size supported by Fastexport utility in a network attached client is 2GB.
 
Place the code below after your ".BEGIN EXPORT" statement.
It is the access module that allows large file system support on solaris. Good luck.

.EXPORT AXSMOD /NCRutils_PATH/lf_axsmod.so 'abc'
