Hi,

One of our customer's DB Folder , we saw many files M***. They had a bunch of numbers and/or letters after the name and the file didn’t have an extension on it. (examples: M00B81772 or M09581772).

Is there any reason why this files are created? Is it because of Progress?

Any quick answers Please help me.
TIA
Philip
 
That sounds more like something the application is creating than something that Progress creates. Progress temp files all start with a 3 character "type" that is then followed by digits. The valid types are somewhat version dependent but typically you might see lbi, srt and DBI. These files are created in the -T directory. On unix they are only visible if you also set -t. On windows they are always visible but you might not see their correct size (that's a windows "feature").
