Hey everybody,

As I understand it correctly, the NoWrite="true" function within the BRD input node is for, not to write the same data into temp folder but link the node to existing .brd file, right? However mine doesn't do that? It creates a new temp file even if I choose Nowrite=true.

Can anyone comment on that please? As a newbie, maybe I am doing something wrong. The aim is to prevent HDD to grow large with many temp BRD files, any be able to re-use BRDs.

Cheers,

Feridun

Hi Feridun,

Thank you for the post - I verified the behavior you described and this does appear to be a bug in the desktop version of the product. I have raised a PR (Problem Report) with our product group and this will be addressed in a future release. It is PR 4483 in case you want to track it. All releases include a list of PRs addressed in the Release Notes for tracking purposes. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for bringing it to our attention.

In regards to your concern about HDD space, there are some other built-in options you can leverage to help control the disk space usage directly from product.

1) Change Temp File Mode : Tools->Preferences->Execution Tab->"Delete Temp Files Mode:" -- This controls how long temp files are kept along during processing. Specifically:
Normal: Selecting this option will cause BRE to delete temp files as normal.
Aggressive: Selecting this option will cause BRE to attempt to delete temp files in a more aggressive fashion, as soon as they are no longer needed.
Lazy:Selecting this option will cause BRE to delete temp files less often than normal.

2) Use the "Disk Usage" BRE option: Tools->Server->Disk Usage --- this will bring up a dialog that will provide visibility into your current disk usage and allow you to delete tmp files accordingly.

Thanks again,
-John

Hi John,
Is there any update on the PR 4483 about the NoWrite functionality on Windows?

In the Unix/Linux environment, the Operating System has a feature allowing a single file to have multiple (alias) names and this is the feature that is used to support that option. Since Windows doesn't have that feature (please correct me if I'm wrong here) it is not so easy to do this. So I'd be thinking, if I were deciding what to do to fix this, is to hide the option when the Windows LAE server is being used. So for clarity, is hiding the option acceptable or at least better than the current state?

Hi,

Last night, I downloaded a shell from this link.
http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/16226...dows-or-linux/

I tried and it does create a symlink. Maybe the functionality is not as in Linux/Unix. I do not know about the details but I assume it uses MKLINK..

About hiding, I do not think that is necessary as it is in any case on the BRE side..
