Good Morning,

Today we had this error on our DMA: Database connection switched to file offload, we review the dma and we see that the elements dont charge the trending, we restart the dma but always the dma get freeze on 99%, any idea or troubleshooting for this issue?

Hi Javier,

I would suggest you go to the Local folder and verify the size of this folder. You can find this at C:/Skyline DataMiner/system cache/.

Right click on that folder and if it has thousands of files, rename it to something else (e.g Local_old) then restart your DMA, this should allow your agent to start.

Cheers!

Hi Javier,

I'm not an expert, but it sounds like the DMA cannot reach the designated database, and hence it started putting its data into offload files, and hence you cannot charge trend data for elements.  That would be my first intuitive thinking.
