• Closed as program error.

Error description

• When running IBM Rational Integration Tester Agent (RIT-Agent)
  as a Windows service you see many files creates in the following
  folder:
  
  C:\Windows\ServiceProfiles\LocalService\.rit8\cmd-workspace\inst
  ance1\configuration\org.eclipse.osgi
  
  Typical files are created for each scheduled test run:
  
  .bundledata.nnnnn
  .lazy.nnnnn
  .state.nnnnn
  
  This can cause disk space issues.
  
  WORKAROUND:
  
  Stop the Agent and delete the files periodically.
  
  You can relocate the files to a different location by editing
  RIT-Agent Agent.config as shown:
  
  <application type="VirtualApp" workingDirectory="."
  dataHome="C:/Temp/RIt-Agent/cmd-workspace">

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED:                                              *
  * All users of Rational Test Control Panel who run scheduled   *
  * tests.                                                       *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
  * Every time Rational Test Control Panel ran a scheduled test, *
  * three files were created in a work directory.  Because these *
  * files were never cleared, they could fill a user's disk.     *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *

Problem conclusion

• A fix for this issue was provided in version 8.7.0.1 of Rational
