This isn't really a blog, its more of a holding page for my domain (seems a shame not to have a page), if I know you then add me on either LinkedIn or Facebook (links are on the right), however if I don't know you then I won't add you!

Crystal Reports Business Objects Enterprise (BOE) - Consuming increasing amounts of server hard disk space

Recently had issues with BOE continually running out of hard disk space, despite going through housekeeping on the drives and freeing up additional space.


It seems that BOE builds a temporary file for each report rendered for users, as more and more users request more and more reports these temporary files build up.  Also Xcelsius dashboards were creating temporary SWF files and causing the same problem.

Removing these files resolves the problem in the short term although they quickly build up again.  A script or similar can be written to flush this folder on a frequent basis to prevent this.  Also have a look at the number of instances you are running and their associated expiry date.

The files are located in C:\DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS\<USER ID>\LOCAL SETTINGS\TEMP
