Thousands of .tmp files pile up in my notes\data folder on the server. I have to delete about 10,000 of these 1k files about every 4 weeks. They seem to appear on days when compact is running. Any ideas how I can prevent this from happening?
I am running 6.5 on the server. Have not installed 6.5.1 yet.

Are you using Symantec AV for Domino? I’ve seen that cause it.

Stop the content filtering ? i hope there was an other solution

Same problem here…
I’ve not seriously investigated the problem atm.
So if someone has already found a solution (or at least know why those files are created), I would be glad to hear the explanation.
(NB. we are running McAfee GroupShield…)
Thx

Same for us, both on client side (Notes 6.5.1 with Norton Antivirus) as well as on server side (6.0.3)…

That *.TMP files can be deleted??? did you do it? I have same problem, in fact I have some other tmp files and folders, for example: tmpfiles.10432 (folder); tmpfiles.11796.awk, tmpfiles.22750.dev, tmpfiles.10090.err, tmpfiles.10090.lst, tmpfiles.10090.pids, tmpfiles.11730.thr, tmpfiles.11730.scr (files), It´s appear when I kill domino using killqueues, killmem, killdomino and killsem scripts, then I made a script that move all them to a tmpfiles folder, they are not deleted yet, but can do the same with *.TMP files? move and delete? P.D: My plataform is AIX

No solution so far on my end, but yes, I am regularly deleting these .tmp files…

Recently saw this on one of my Domino servers as well - over 5,000 .tmp files, all sized 68 bytes. I did not catch this at the time the files were being generated, but fortunately we do not have a huge number of users on this server. I saw a trend in the number of files generated per day, which began at around 9/day and slowly increased to almost 250/day at peak. The generation of these files stopped when I upgraded the server to 6.5.3. Still not sure what was causing it, and unfortunately my logs don’t go back to the time when they were being created.
I think it very unlikely that mine were generated as a result of the COMPACT process due to their small, uniform size. My guess is some kind of logging/monitoring task, but that is just a guess.
I will be deleting these files during my next scheduled restart of the server.

This happened to me when I moved to 7.0.1 from 6.5.4. I am using Trend AV/ASW and Spam Sentinel.
on the notes ini I added the line
view_rebuild_dir=(my e:drive\Tmp)
as the tmp files were just eating up the C Drive under C:\Windows\Temp\Notesxxx.
I called Lotus Tech support about it, they don’t really have an answer until I sent a whole host of log files, event files, etc.
One thing I did do that has slowed the process is get the latest NSD update from IBM.
I’ll post a response if Lotus fixes my issue.

After a ton of changes and investigation the problem was our AntiSpyWare. Trend AntiSpyware for SMB. I stopped that service on the server and the TMP file dissapeared.
I made Trend aware of the issue and they are working on a fix.
Hope that helps.
