Disk Space

siva2_2000

Hi
We have MediaBin Running under Windows 2000 and we have two drivers C, E.
C has 100GB Memory space and E has 500GB memory space. Due to insufficient space in C , we are getting following error
***********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
The asset(s) could not be retrieved from the MediaBin server.

S6B-0001.eps: Exception in Primitive {46E8CE91}! Reason = Could not open file, Message = EPS Decoder: Couldn't create JPEG code file.
**********************************************************************************************************************************************************************
How to increase C drive Space with min task?
Note: MBDataDirectory is already in E.

Thanks in advance
shiv

Thiru,

Do you have the MB Asset Server and the MB web client on the same machine? Also where do you have the MBDataDirectory?

Srini,
Thanks for the quick response. MB asset manager and MB web client is on same machine. I am not sure about MB data directory.

We are using MB 4.5.3 and Windows 2003 sp1
TS 6.5 sp3

Thanks,
Thiru

Check in your MB installation directory for MBDataDirectory and check its size. If both the asset server and web client are on the same machine then I am thinking that the transfer folder is not getting cleared out. Check the installation directory for MB web client and there should be a Transfer folder. Check the size.

The default installation directory for these two are c:/Program Files/MediaBin Sever and C:/Program Files/MediaBin Web Client.

There r 6 folders on the server as follows:
MBCache -- No files/folders in it.
MBDataDirectroy size: 381 GB (410,124,804,096 bytes)
MBTempDir -- No files/folders in it.
MBWebClient(MBWC): 2.43G (Transfer folder itself under MBWC is 2.41GB)
TransferFolder20 : 2.37GB
TransferFolderWS : 4.68 GB (5,028,663,296 bytes)

Thanks,

The MBDataDirectory can be moved out to a different disk or SAN or something similar.

Refer to page 481 of the Asset Server Admin Guide for more details on this.

For your web clients tranfer folders, you may want to run an external script that deletes any folder under transfer that is more than ? days old.
The web client will attempt to clean up its temporary workspace under the transfer folder when a user is logged off. If jobs are running at that time (insertions or retrievals), the web client application cannot delete the folder because it is being used (by MediaBin server). Therefore, you may, over time, accumulate files under the transfer folder. Running an external script once daily or weekly would clear out anything not in use.
When you restart your web client, it will remove all temporary folders under the transfer folder, so that is another option.
In version 4.6, if the web client cannot delete a folder at logout time, it will retry deletion the next time another user logs out.

MediaBin uses two different temp directories. Some uses make use of the space in MBDataDirectory, but there are some applications that require diskspace in the Temp directory under the directory where MediaBin is installed (the distinction is important for clustered configurations in which one case is server-specific and the other has to be coordinated cross-cluster).

as one example, the space used to print bitmaps for those primitives using the Black Ice print driver is by default in the server directory.

Unfortunately there is no easy way to override, unles syou reinstall MediaBin on a bigger drive or ghost the 100GB drive to something larger.
