Cause

A cloud backup synchroniser is locking the client temporary files to back them up which is perceived by the ABL client as an out of disk event.

Examples: dropbox, onedrive, google drive

Resolution

Option 1: Stop the cloud backup synchroniser from running on the system where ABL clients are running.

Option 2: Setup an exclusion in the cloud backup synchroniser so that it does not backup the location the ABL client uses for temporary files.

The location is defined by the -T parameter used by the client session or the working directory where the executable is started from with a temporary directory location is not explicitly specified).
