Title: outputnnnnnnnnnnn files
Post by: TCM on 13 Feb 2009 07:48:49 AM
I see files in C:\Program Files\cognos\c8\temp\rsvp with the name outputnnnnnnnnnnn, where the 'nnnnnnnnnnn' is a string of numbers such as '12106121060' (for example 'output12106121060'). Can anyone tell me what these are and if it's safe to remove them? I am using Cognos 8.1. Thank you much!

yes it is safe, granted that the C8 service is shutdown. Otherwise users might experience report failures.

I think they are temp files for the generation of your Report Outputs.
