Hi,

We are on Baan IVc4 on NT. Is it safe to delete the tmp* files under g:\baan\temp directory. also have files type qp000503, qp000549 etc. which occupies more than 1.3 GB space

Can we delete these qp files from G:\baan\temp folder?

Please advice

Hello,

Hi,

Thank you very much for quick reply.

Thanks

As far as i can recollect qp files are basically created by baan internally when u execute a session and internally it has to do sorting of data.

so essentially baan does sorting related operations in qp file and for whatever 'xyz' reason , these files are not removed frm system sometimes , so it's for sure safe to delete older qp files.

Note : you should remove the qp files which are current or latest, since it might be getting created by some user using baan session.

any time you use an "as prepared set" in a query baan generates a qp file.

once the query is done you can wack the file.

there was a typo , above statement should be read as ..

From a point of system administration the best solution is to write a script which will run automatic from the windows ( or unix ) schedulerer. You can add 'qp' files as well as 'tmp' files and old 'bshell' files older then f.i. 2 weeks. Once setup you have not to bother about these files anymore. :cool:
