Hi Eric,
The ARPen* files are temporary files which are created by the server when large queries are performed.
They will typically be cleaned up by the server once the query has completed, but there are occasions, such as if the server crashes, when they may become orphaned from the server process and be left lying around.
As long as the files are old (i.e. not a query currently in progress) there's no reason why you shouldn't delete them.
Cheers...Jo

Hi All,
We're currently running Remedy 6.3 Patch 21 with an Oracle 9i database on AIX 5.2.0.0.
The disk space on our server is approaching a threshold level. Our AIX guys noticed that there are a number of files in the /tmp folder which are named ARpen*, which are owned by the account our Remedy system uses. These total close to a Gig between them. They've asked if these can be deleted.
I've looked at these. They vary in size from under 1 K to over 23 Meg, and have dates ranging from 2005 through last Monday. For more than 90% of these, the content is binary. The remaining files seem to contain lists of case numbers, statuses, work logs, or attachments.
Does any one have any idea what the purpose of these files is, what may be responsible for creating them, and if they can safely be deleted?
