Why do .tmp files accumulate in the index folder on a server?
large numbers of .tmp files stored in the dictionaries/<dxp>_Files folder
CAUSE:
When a server is created for back-up or disaster recovery purposes and does not actually recieve any search traffic, and indexes are deployed to the server using the regular production deployment schedule, .tmp files will accumlulate in the <dxp>_Files folder. The dictionary setting <dxp>.AutoReload=true will only reload an index that has already been loaded and if no searches have been done on the server, the index will never be loaded. <dxp>.Preload=true will load the dictionary but not the index. The index is actually loaded when the first search is executed.
FIX:
After bringing up the server, send a search request to the server. This will load the index. Subsequently, when a new index is deployed to the server, and AutoReload=true, a new index will be deployed and any out-of-date .tmp files will be deleted.
