The problem is with TS's compression routine. It seems to have
problems with files bigger than ??MB.
Unfortunately Omega isn't clever enough to stop with an error
message before they delete the two (or 8) hours of copying out
work! They first delete your copied out files, and then give this
misleading error message.
I had same problem with 6GB of free (and defragmented) disk
space.
Ideally they would give an error message that the resulting file will
be too large to handle BEFORE they start the copy out process.
The way to do this is copy out smaller chunks, i.e. 3mo. worth of
all data at a time (to different filenames!). Then you can paste all
of them into another dat file.

Subject: TS Copy Out error
I am having a problem Copying_Out the tick data.
My tick data file is 470MB. I am copying out
about 60% of the portfolio, enough data to make
probably a 250MB file.
After two hours of processing, the server says
"Not enough disk space to compress d:\....."
There is ONE GIGABYTE of free space on this disk ! ! ! !
How much !@%#^!@# space does this program need for a 250MB file ? ? ?
This error also occurred when the disk had only 600MB free.
And yet this process worked on another machine with a similar
size data file.
Has anyone else seen and dealt with this errror?
Oh - process is done with the Off-line server.
Thanks
donc
