Insufficient space in the Db2® work file database

When processing large amounts of data, you can encounter insufficient space in the Db2® work file database.

Symptoms

HCL Z Asset Optimizer operational jobs are failing.

Causes

When you run SQL queries that process large amounts of data, including sorts and joins, there is insufficient space in the work file database that is used for temporary storage.

Diagnosing the problem

Check for examples of following messages in the Db2® MSTR address space:
DSNT501I  -DE91 DSNIXWKF RESOURCE UNAVAILABLE  553   
           CORRELATION-ID=XXXXXX
