>From my understanding it's kind of a scratch file that is then processed down to what comes out in the def file. It seems to me that it shouldn't be that much bigger than the size of the def file that gets created. Worse case maybe an order of magnitude larger. I think that somehow it's tied into the timeout due to server busy message. To me it looks like some kind of looping condition that continues to gather data but no where to report it. The admin tool has dropped the link and creates a 0 size def file. I haven't had a response to my question about the timeout condition. Dave

How is a 10+ GB temp file justified? If it's working as designed, make them justify the design. Rick On 9/18/07, Shellman, David <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: ** Here's an update on the issue. The file size was 10 Gig and growing rapidly. The file was specifically tied to exporting workflow from the admin tool. As soon as we would cycle the service associated with the AR System the file would disappear. When I would start the export process, the file would appear. We just moved over to the Windows environment from SUN systems. I don't ever remember seeing anything like this on SUN. If the system would have been writing a file this large in system workspace, the SUN guys would have been all over me. I got a response from Support yesterday. It's working as designed. I haven't ever had the admin tool time out with server busy error with an export of workflow before. I also did not see (could have missed it some where) that exporting workflow would create a huge temporary file in a system temp directory. If we would have known this before we would have setup disk space much differently.
