IT19465: USING SFTP ON A LOGTARGET COULD LEAD TO A DISK SPACE PROBLEM

Fix packs for DataPower Gateway version 7.5.2

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When using SFTP e.g. on a LogTarget, the encrypted space might
  be completely used up, by an internal file (sshprocess.stderr)
  which increases constantly, until "Free encrypted space:" is 0.
  
  This situation in turn can lead to serious issues with the
  functionality of your DataPower services.
  
  
  To check that you're not affected by this issue, perform the
  "show filesystem" cli command and check the available "free
  encrypted space" occasionally to ensure that this will not
  decrease significantly.
  

Local fix

• A rollback to a previous working release might help.
  

Problem summary

• Affected is use of SFTP in DataPower, e.g. on a LogTarget.
  
  DataPower encrypted space might be completely used up.
  

Problem conclusion

• Fix is available in 7.5.2.6
