APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Starting in 6.1.0.4, plugin steps are failed if the agent does
  not send an acknowledgement that the server's request for a step
  was received within a specified time frame (default is 30
  seconds). When these plugin steps fail, the dialogue related to
  them is not cleaned up properly, which causes the
  var/sa/dialogue directory on the server to fill up with entries.
  

Local fix

• If there are too many entries in the var/sa/dialogue directory,
  you can:
  1. Make sure that there are no processes or version imports
  running. (Consider using maintenance mode to allow currently
  running processes to finish without allowing new processes to be
  started.)
  2. Stop the server.
  3. Delete all entries in the var/sa/dialogues directory.
  4. Start the server.
  
  Do not attempt to delete dialogue files while processes are in
  progress.
