Alert: pctLastX Last fixed extent num > 85

What does it mean? What do I do about it?

Example alert from the ProTop Portal:

What does it mean?

The last fixed extent of the named storage area (SAName) has grown beyond 85% utilized.

NOTE: add "export PCTLASTX=yes" to bin/localenv to enable this for your environment.

What to do?

Add a new fixed extent (or a variable extend) before that extent fills and stalls the database because it cannot grow.

Please look at this article on Managing extent size for more information.
