Many bad alloc errors, dispatch directory fills up and does not free up space for other jobs

I have a SH cluster with 3 servers, but I'm getting a lot of replication errors because the datamodels fill up the dispatch directory.
How are jobs released from dispatch? Are files cleaned automatically?

There are many bad alloc errors.

Jobs should be removed from the dispatch directory automatically once they expire.

Some workarounds to consider:

  • Increase the size of the dispatch directory
  • Reduce how frequently datamodel accelerations run
  • Disable unused DMAs
