Do you guys know why these BIB Processes are taking up so much space even though there are no users in the system?

Thanks for your time.

I see this is from a few days ago. Are you still having this issue?

When did this start occurring, and what has changed in your environment? Do you see any current activities in Cognos administration?

[gosoccer]

The environment has been running very slow but it got really bad last week. What current activities in the Cognos Admin would help us. What am I looking for?

[AnalyticsWithJay]

The most common use of the temp directory for Cognos is for reporting, which is likely the cause of your issue.

Do you see large 'uda' files being created in the Cognos temp directory?

I would look at Past Activities under Cognos Administration -> Status, to see if you can isolate a report that ran at the time this issue started happening.

Very large temp files are typically a result of bad report/model design.

Thanks I'll look for the uda files and past activities.
