Cause

The customer discovered one of their custom scripts that contained an “Clib.fopen” but “Clib.fclose” was absent. After 1-2 hours, the same file opened more than 200 times per MTS, when the OM process ran out of file handles this led to the errors with opening and writing other files.

Solution

Fix script to include Clib.fclose.
