Problem:

Solution:

After running several data functions in TIBCO Spotfire that call data functions run on TIBCO Spotfire Statistics Services (TSSS), you may observed that there are a significant number of SBDF files in the \artifacts folder that are taking up a lot of disk space. If the disc runs out of space then that can cause the TSSS application to fail.
Any orphaned SBDF files can be manually deleted while the TSSS service is stopped to free up disk space.
