When a database is used for an extended period, free space on the disk is continuously consumed and in some cases the disk space runs out. When this happens, database jobs may stop and no longer run.

You should, therefore, periodically monitor the usage of disk space, and delete obsolete files located in the disk.

Monitor the disk usage of the disk where the following directories are located:

• Data storage destination directory

• Transaction log storage destination (if the transaction log is stored in a different directory from the data storage destination directory)

• Backup data storage destination directory

• Tablespace storage destination directory
