Information in Event Description Messages
102: ZFIL-EVT-PROC-PFS-FULL
A PFS allocation failed on the indicated process, because the available PFS space is
exhausted.
Unconditional Tokens
Cause. The indicated process tried to allocate more space than the PFS can hold.
Effect. A system call within the process fails. Further operations might also fail,
although no subsequent event messages will be generated.
Recovery. Reduce the PFS space used by the process. In some cases, this might be
done by reducing the amount of work assigned to the process so that the process
attempts fewer simultaneous file-system operations. How to reduce assigned work is
application dependent. In many cases, the program will have to be modified to change
the way it does operations that consume PFS space. The following are possible places
where work assignments can be reduced:

The number of concurrent user I/Os done by the program.

The size of the user I/Os.

The number files opened.

The nowait depth on open files.
