I knew that .obf extension sounded familiar.  If I remember right from a
couple years back, I think it's the saved copies of the diagrams and
returned searches that RDP creates on demand, or something related to that.
Sort of like what Migrator creates when you poll a server.

L.J.,

Thanks,

I was able to install filemon and found two things:

The most recent .obf file is updated (now at over 138MB) when I perform a
search in Remedy Dev Plus 6.3 p1492 on Admin Tool 7.0.1 p1 Filemon shows:
path = C:\WINNT\system32\java.exe
command line = java -Xmx256m -cp "C:\Program Files\AR System
\ARAdmin7.0.1\appexplorer60.jar;C:\Program Files\AR System
\ARAdmin7.0.1\jgraph.jar;C:\Program Files\AR System
\ARAdmin7.0.1\arapi60.jar;C:\Program Files\AR System
\ARAdmin7.0.1\jakarta-regexp-1.3.jar;C:\Program Files\¨q

Does this shed any light on the problem?
