KDB generating ERROR:file/path/location/sym os reports: No such file or directory

I am trying to save table as partition using .Q.dpt[hdbroot;.z.d;`tablename].

But it's generating No such file or directory error, but the directory is present.

can you please help me on this.

I have created blank folder to store the data but it's checking for sym file while storing data.

I have created one blank folder and gave that folder path to hdbroot variable, but it's not working.

I could replicate your error by trying to save to a location that doesn't exist on the machine.

q).Q.dpt[`:/does/not/exist;.z.d;`t]
'/does/not/exist/sym. OS reports: No such file or directory
  [0]  .Q.dpt[`:/does/not/exist;.z.d;`t]

Like I mentioned in my comment, make sure that the hdbroot variable is exactly the location you're expecting. key can help you determine this, here is a quick helper function for you.

q)exists:{"Folder/file ",$[11=abs type key x;"exists";"does not exist"]}
q)exists`:/does/not/exist
"Folder/file does not exist"
q)exists`:/tmp
"Folder/file exists"
