All,
I have recently established a replication server for a Windchill 9.1 system. I am in the middle of a one-time replication task to perform the inital copy ofthe master data to the replication server and have noticed that while the files are being copied to the designated vault folder(s), files are also being placed in the "<loadpoint>\temp\wrmfTransport" folder. Although the filenames are completely different, there is anidentical number of files with matching file sizes in the two folders. PTC Tech Support quoted page 105 of the System Admin guide that states "When your Windchill system is running as expected, you can remove any files in this directory that are older than 24 hours". Tech Support also confirmed that it is safe to delete the files even though the task that is creating the filesis still running. Have any of youseen this behavior? According toTech Support, the answer to the first two questionsbelow is "no", but I thought I would post them (as well as the third question) to the group for feedback:
* Is there a configuration setting that willpreventtemp files from being created for replication tasks?
* If not, is there a configuration setting that will delete the files automatically once the task completes?
* What is the purpose of copying replicated files to a Temp folder? I sure hope the copy happens at the server and the file is not being pulled across the WAN twice!
Thanks in advance...

No responses thus far... Surely someone is replicating data using a 9.1
system... Anyone?
Only on a test system so far.
* Is there a configuration setting that will prevent temp files from being
created for replication tasks?
Not that I am aware of. I also called PTC to ask about this.
* If not, is there a configuration setting that will delete the files
automatically once the task completes?
Not that I am aware of. Again I asked PTC about this. What I ended up doing was writing a sh script that does the following:
* What is the purpose of copying replicated files to a Temp folder?
I asked this question also and really never got an answer. To me it is just adding more overhead to an already unbelievably slow process. See this thread for some more information: http://portal.ptcuser.org/p/fo/st/topic=16&post=79235
Thanks,
Mark
