“Compile Security” Concurrent Request completes in error

Problem: When the user runs the concurrent request for “Compile Security”, it completes with error.

Solution: On the database server, the /var directory has completely filled up and there is no free space. This directory is used by E-Business Suite as the temp directory (in reality, EBS uses/usr/tmp, which symbolically links to /var/tmp). The space is filled due to the yum daemon, which automatically downloads updates from Red Hat to the /var/cache/yum directory.

To resolve this issue, log on to the system as the root user and either delete the contents of the /var/cache/yum directory using ‘rm -f /var/cache/yum’, or execute the command ‘yum clean all’. To stop the yum-updatesd daemon, run the command ‘service yum-updatesd stop’ or ‘/etc/init.d/yum-updatesd stop’.
