how to prevent xxx.qvw.temp?

[Huiying]

I get annoyed by our infrastructure people who contact me daily for xxx.qvw.temp files.

I understand these files should be deleted automatically by QlikView, but somehow got 'forgotten'.

But is there a way to prevent them being 'forgotten' by QlikView? 

How do you manage these temp files?

Thank you for your time!

Best regards,

Susan

Hello,

These temporary files should be deleted automatically.

To help you further, the community would need a little more information on this from you:

• What version of QlikView are you running?
• Where are these temporary files stored? (on what type of drive or share)
• How frequently are you seeing them not being deleted?

Hi Sonja

We use QV12.3 SR1 version.

The temp file shows in Source Document folders which is in a shared file server.

I got request almost daily from our IT guys about them...

Best regards,

Are your users requesting these temp files for some reason or are they requesting they're deleted?  Sonja_B is correct, this is part of the reload process where the QVW is renamed QVWName.temp once the reload starts, after the reload is completed the file is then renamed back to QVWName.QVW, this is to keep the QVW from getting corrupted during an issue with a reload.  If the QVWName.tmp is sticking around after a reload is completed, a program or process might be interfering with this renaming process such as an anti-virus.

Hope this helps!

Thanks,
Josh
