Overwhelmed with .ser files

HCL Domino Domino Forum
1

For some reason our Domino 9 server (with latest HF) is generating thousands of new files and folders files each day of the form:

C:\Documents and Settings\mcs-server-agent\Local Settings\Temp\notes071343\xspstate\1\0A92AE45F681DB7578956048F4BADB5647FF7AAE\diuzmowuox.ser

It got to the point where a 60Gb server was full and we had to clear them all out. by hand.

We now have an overnight batch file which deletes them all every night but I haven’t a clue how to stop it happening. Is there an arcane dojo setting somewhere that we have missed?

It must be some kind of cache or debug because the files keep on coming and appear possibly to represent something resembling a page that has been delivered.

Subject: Multiple instances of .ser files

We’ll have a look at the application settings in our various XPages apps. Presumably the content of the .ser files will give us a clue as to which apps to concentrate on.

Also think about moving them to a different drive/folder using the xsp.persistence.dir.xspstate=e:\folder

PS: You will need to contact developers of those apps to adjust these settings on per-app basis.
