Thanks for the additional response. I've double checked the files and the ASM one is only 53mb

ls -lh /var/ts/var/install/ts_db.save_dir_10714.cstmp/ts_db.data.PLC.PL_SUGGESTIONS.cstmp

-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 53M Jul 10 04:18 /var/ts/var/install/ts_db.save_dir_10714.cstmp/ts_db.data.PLC.PL_SUGGESTIONS.cstmp

 

I will take a look through the UCS file as tathat could shed some light on to why we're struggling

 

Thanks again.
