Thank you very much Razzak! Yes you and RBTI and we the users have indeed come a very long way!
Thanks also for the specific answers on C:\TEMP and the screen shots. Mine are all set that way as well. Besides SCRATCH files (which are automatically deleted in code), is it safe to periodically delete ANY AND ALL files located in C:\TEMP? (No longer just an R:BASE question.

Exactly 19 years ago, who would have thought that we would be talking about consolidating our business applications and running them on the cloud, where every authorized user can access your secure R:BASE applications from anywhere using any device. How about 2017 and beyond ... And, we the dreamers at R:BASE Technologies kept up with everything, including the first R:BASE cloud server and the first R:BASE application deployed on Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 and now on Windows Server 2016. It is really exciting to see how R:BASE applications and custom R:BASE Web Portals (using Oterro, Node.js, and Java) are helping our R:BASE clients. Now to your cloud specific questions ... When users are successfully logged in on the cloud server, using the web browser, such as RDWeb on (Windows Server 2012R2, Windows Server 2016), they are actually running everything on the server itself. Based on the user account and user environment configuration, you may or may not allow to share and/or access local resources. The cloud environment (User and Windows) on the cloud server is also configured to use the C:\Temp In our R:BASE cloud server (RDWeb) setup and guidelines .... Define Environment Variables (Administrator and all Remote Desktop Login Users) Start > This PC > Properties > System > Advanced system settings > Environment Variables ... User variables for Administrator TEMP: C:\Temp TMP: C:\Temp System variables TEMP: C:\Temp TMP: C:\Temp See attached screen shots. Since the compiled application runs on cloud server along with corresponding DLLs and CFG files, based on the SCRATCH C:\Temp settings, all R:BASE temporary SCRATCH (.$$$) files will be stored under C:\Temp. FYI, each new session of R:BASE (either as RDP or RDWeb, WebPortal) creates its own unique 32-digits temporary scratch (.$$$) files. Using this approach, there is only one place to monitor, as well as one place to maintain/clean all scratch files, etc. Yes, it is very safe to delete all (*.$$$) files found in C:\Temp directory or wherever they live. You will get the -ERROR- message if those .$$$ files belong to active R:BASE or OTERRO session(s). To answer your last question, in my personal experience as well as my clients', who are running very complex multi-user business applications on the cloud, C:\Temp been the best configuration. Of course, I always speak of myself, my experience, and the way I make my R:BASE work in all these environments. I hope that answers your question.
