GOAL:
Is it possible to see temporary files (.srt, .lbi, .dbi, .pge, and .trp) without using -t?
GOAL:
What are unlinked files?
GOAL:
How does -t parameter works
FACT(s) (Environment):
UNIX
Progress/OpenEdge Product Family
FIX:
On UNIX, All temporary files (LBInumber, SRTnumber, PGEnumber, DBInumber, and TRPnumber) are normally invisible or unlinked. Unlinked means that the file is deleted once the process owning it ends. (See 'man unlink' entry on the UNIX system). So, no matter if the session aborts or terminates normally the temporary files are deleted.
The use -t of makes the temporary files visible when a Progress session is running. On UNIX, number is the process ID of the user?s OpenEdge session.
The -t parameter also makes the entries visible after OpenEdge aborts. However, if OpenEdge aborts, delete the temporary files yourself.
With or without the -t parameter, OpenEdge always deletes the temporary files when it terminates normally.
