GOAL:
Is it safe to delete Progress database files which are not listed within prostrct list output?
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 6.x
Progress 7.x
Progress 8.x
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.0x
CAUSE:
In some situations where attempts are made to add extra extents to the database but the prostrct add operation fails, files may be left by the job which aren't part of the database.
To confirm that it is safe to manually remove the files from the file system perform the following command:
prostrct list <dbname> temp-<dbname>.st
Review the contents of the temp-<dbname>.st file to make sure that the files created by the aborted prostrct add operation do not exist in the temp-<dbname>.st file.
If the files are present on the file system but aren't listed in the output of the prostrct list (for the database which failed the prostrct add operation) it is safe to remove the files from the file system.
