Can I delete .shared files when a document is not published ?

[fredericvillemi]

Hello,

I have Qlikview Server 11.2 with many documents and in the logs there a remany informations like that :

2017-09-19 11:40:52 2017-09-19 14:47:37 4 700 Information SE_LOG: MetaService - GetData: Could not get info due to (The system cannot find the file specified.), of document ddd/qvw/MY_DATA.qvw

Because there is a .shared.

But the document is not opened to any user. It is just in a directory scanned by QlikView Server but it is not meant to be published or have shared information.  Can I delete .shared and how can i avoid such a message ?

Thanks

.Shared file contains the additional info like USER bookmarks , objects etc if the doc is not published yet then no problem in deleting

thanks for your answer

but how can they have been created if they were never published ?  the server creates a .shared everytime it sees a .qvw in a browsing folder ?

By default it will be created ...since its not published it will not contain any user info
