Problem Note 14184: "ERROR: Utility file read failed." received from PROC OLAP

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It
You may get the following errors from PROC OLAP:

   ERROR: Utility file read failed.
   ERROR: An error has occurred while sorting a class interaction type.
   ERROR: A problem was encountered during data summarization.

There are several possible reasons for this error:

   1. The file system where the utility files are written may be full
       (i.e. either out of disk space or out of inodes).

   2. The user could have exhausted their disk space quota on the file
      system where the utility files are being written, if quotas have
      been enabled for that user.

   3. The file system where the utility files are written may have been
      created or mounted with the NOLARGEFILES option.  In this case,
      the user cannot create a file that is larger than 2 GB, but the
      job needs to create a utility file that is larger than this limit.

      To work around this, modify the file system or remount the file
      system without NOLARGEFIELS or use another filesystem that does
      not have this restriction.

   4. Memory limitations on the server may prevent the utility files
      from being written. Increasing MEMSIZE may help if this is the
      case.
