Files in /tmp
Martin Nagel found 8192-byte files named ove... appearing and disappearing in /tmp on a new IDS 7.31 on HP-UX and asked what they were. Jacques Lapeire guessed temporary sort files if temp dbspace is full and asked about DBTEMP and PSORT_DBTEMP, which were unset; Martin knew only srt files. Art Kagel asked posters to quote. Unresolved.

Hello everybody, in my newly set up server IDS7.31 on HPUX I get some files i /tmp like -rw------- 1 root informix 8192 7 Mar 10:24 ove0017326_263 -rw------- 1 root informix 8192 7 Mar 10:24 ove0017326_264 -rw------- 1 root informix 8192 7 Mar 10:24 ove0017326_265 -rw------- 1 root informix 8192 7 Mar 10:24 ove0017326_266 -rw------- 1 root informix 8192 7 Mar 10:24 ove0017326_267 -rw------- 1 root informix 8192 7 Mar 10:24 ove0017326_268 -rw------- 1 root informix 8192 7 Mar 10:24 ove0017326_269 -rw------- 1 root informix 8192 7 Mar 10:24 ove0017326_270 -rw------- 1 root informix 8192 7 Mar 10:24 ove0017326_271 -rw------- 1 root informix 8192 7 Mar 10:24 ove0017326_272 -rw------- 1 root informix 8192 7 Mar 10:24 ove0017326_273 since all my years with IDS I see this for the first time and cannot find any reason for them. They appear and disappear. Can anyone tell me what these files are for? Thanks Martin
Hi, Could it be something like temporary sort-work-files ? No place anymore in temp dbspace so files are created in /tmp ? Do you have DBTEMP and PSORT_DBTEMP variables set ?

Hi, I'm investigating in that direction, but I just know sort files named srt...... DBTEMP and PSORT_DBTEMP are not set. Martin
PLEASE don't post replies that do not quote the original post at least in part so we all know what they refer to. Not all of us follow this mailing list forum with a mailer that threads. Art S.
