APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Every time you run a scheduled test from RIT, a unique
  vApp<nnnnnnnnnnnn> folder is created in the user's temporary
  folder, e,g, C:\Users\myUser\AppData\Local\Temp
  
  When the Agent is run as a Windows service the location is
  typically
  C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\AppData\Local\Temp
  
  Also when the Agent is run as a Windows service, the temporary
  project files test<nnnnnn>.zip do not get deleted from the RTCP
  workspace repository folder.
  
  These folders are not deleted after the run, and waste disk
  space.
  
  WORKAROUND:
  
  Delete these folders after test execution

Problem summary

  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * All users of Rational Test Virtualization Server             *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * When a user runs stubs or scheduled tests via Rational Test  *
  * Control Panel temporary files are created in the Agent's tmp *
  * space.  These are never removed which means the server will  *
  * eventually run out of disk (tmp) space.                      *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• This problem has been fixed in the Rational Integration Tester
  Agent version 8.6.0.1 and the temporary files are now deleted
  when stubs and tests are unloaded from the Agent.
