If it has and if the history indicates that the data is not found in the middletier cache, oracle database cache immediately routes the request to the origin database, which returns the data, through the web or application server, to the user. This issue occurs when there is no enough disk space allocated to the user running the powercenter server or the integration service could not write to a joiner index or data cache file.
Files will be created on the server when the cache space requirements exceed the memory allocated for any of the transformations that create caches.
