Number of directories in a folder in AIX exceeds the max limit, causing the process scheduler to not process any jobs

System Error Code 2:

• One of the process scheduler started failing with

Process Request shows status of 'INITIATED' or 'PROCESSING' but no longer running 

HTTP transfer error. 

PS_NewStdout: Error opening $PS_HOME/appserv/prcs/<ServerName>/log_output/SQR_XRFWIN_PID/SQR_XRFWIN_PID.log - A file or directory in the path name does not exist. (2)

The solution:

• I just looked at the log_output folder and found that the folder had 32,863 sub-directories. This is the maximum number of sub-directories a AIX server can have in one directory.

When I deleted the older files, all things came back to normal and the process server started running much better.
