outputnnnnnnnnnnn files

[TCM]

I see files in C:\Program Files\cognos\c8\temp\rsvp with the name outputnnnnnnnnnnn, where the 'nnnnnnnnnnn' is a string of numbers such as '12106121060' (for example 'output12106121060'). Can anyone tell me what these are and if it's safe to remove them? I am using Cognos 8.1. Thank you much!

yes it is safe, granted that the C8 service is shutdown. Otherwise users might experience report failures.

Thank you kolonell, can you explain what these files actually are?

I think they are temp files for the generation of your Report Outputs.
