Having set a limit of only 2GB, these systems won\'t load WUs from any other project due to lack of disk space. Moreover, even setting their queues to deplete, the directories are not cleared automatically and CPDN files still lurk around taking up disk space, forcing me to delete them manually. Quite cumbersome. Can the developers please tackle this issue? Thanks. ID: 20409 · Reply Quote

The disk space requirements are much less, and after the model has completed (or errored), it cleans up after itself. ID: 20415 · Reply Quote
