    Problem Symptoms:
    The ETL does not appear to have completed - the batch log shows it as running, but grepping for the process does not show any activity
    $data_scratch/p_arc_01_2.log has error:

    Oracle error: fetch z69
    ORA-01116: error in opening database file 9
    ORA-01110: data file 9: '/
    /bin/csh: Too many open files in system.
    Can't make pipe.

     

    Cause:
    Maximum number of open files on server is set to a value less than 65536, e.g.

    $ cat /proc/sys/fs/file-max
    32767

     

    Resolution:
    As System Administrator of the Aleph server, set the maximum number of open files (fs.file-max) to 65536 or higher.
