What are sxx files in forms90 folder?

9iAS 9.0.2.3.0
Forms 9.0.2.12.2
We use Web forms on Windows 2000. In our %9iASOracleHome%\forms90 directory, we see files like
s1ns
s2io
s2j4
s2ls
s2po
s2to
s2ts
s3gc
s41o
s48s
s49k
together with ifweb90_dump_[number] files. I can safely delete the ifweb90 dump files knowing they're created by forms server crash. But what are the sxx files? Does anybody else have them?
Our development team doesn't recognize those files. Oracle support says they're "not created for Oracle products" and "the names do not correspond to any technical log or trace generated for Oracle".
These files seem to contain some user data while most of it is binary data. The first eight bytes of the files are always x87 (hex 87) followed by seven x0 (hex 0). UNIX `file` command doesn't recognize their type. If they're forms cache data, I'd like to create a dedicated folder to contain them. But I don't know where to configure the forms cache directory.
On some servers, these files could be three characters in name such as sdk, sfo, sic... In that case, the second character is always a letter. But most of them are four characters. In that case, the second character is always a number.

Hi,
I was very astonished today to find such files in forms90 directory on my w2k box, so I tried to figure out where they come from. I've checked my config files just to make sure that logging and tracing is disabled. workingDirectory parameter in formsweb.cgf is not set. I can confirm most of what Yong Huan says except of the first 8 bytes of these files. Some of these files have x47 and x08 followed by six x00.
However, I did some testing and found out that an empty file is created when a user runs a form with a multi-line block, executes a query, navigates to the last record using pagedown-key and pressing pagedown-key again and again (about 3 or 4 times). The file remains empty. If the user ends his forms-session, the file is deleted. I have not found out yet under which circumstances data is being written to that file.
It would be nice if someone else could confirm this, and it would be very nice if someone from Oracle could comment on this.

    If the files are already there, they'll never be overwritten when you visit a
    new site, would they ? That's how the cache works :-)

  • What are .ds_store files and can they be removed?

    What are .ds_store files and can they be removed?

    Probably the easiest way is to use Onyx.
    If you show invisibles you can see ds_store in each folder.
    Open Terminal.app (it's in /Applications/Utilities) and copy & paste this command at the prompt...
    sudo chflags nohidden
    Press return.
    The reverse is

  • What are .MXF Files?

    What are .MXF Files? I got these files along with a bunch of .XML files. do they work together or something?
    I'm trying to import these files to final cut pro but have had no luck and here are the error messages that I get:
    ERROR: No translation templates matching the selected XML file were found. Unable to import this file.
    "folder" contains unsupported media or has an invalid directory structure. Please choose a folder whose directory structure matches supported media.
    Any suggestions??

    Yeah, what Tallguy said. If you just have a bunch of MXF files all loosey-goosey in a folder then you will be HARD pressed to get those into FCP. If they have long names like 093HFYG0398DHS.MXF, they might be Avid capture files...and you will need the Avid codecs to import them. If they have names like 004GHV.mov, then they are P2 files shot with the HVX-200 or HPX-line of cameras. And unless they are a VERY specific file structure, inside a CONTENTS folder that contains 6 more folders, two of them being VIDEO and AUDIO...then you cannot import into FCP without third party applications.
    So...what have you got there?

  • What are LRPREV files, and how do I open them?

    I uploaded some pictures onto my laptop from my phone. They seem to have disappeared completely, as they are no longer on my phone, in any of my laptop folders (i've checked several times) or my laptop recycling bin. Having said that, many LRPREV files have appeared in a couple of my folders, which I had not seen before. Putting 2 and 2 together, it seems like the photos from the phone may have unintentionally been converted into this file type.
    My main problem is that I can't open them, so I can't see them to find out. What are LRPREV files and how can I open them? Otherwise, would I be able to convert them into a file type which I should be able to view?
    I would also be grateful if anyone had any suggestions of where my photos may have gone to.
    Thanks.

    I am no expert but have had LR since LR3. Did you import the photos into your LR catalog? It sounds like you have at least viewed the photos using LR or they would not show up in your LRPREV files. LRPREV files are those that have been at least looked at in LR because LR automatically makes previews (thumbnails) of photos you have actually added to a catalog or at least attempted to import. When you upload photos from your phone what folder do you send them to? Why are the original files no longer on your phone, do you automatically delete photos after you import them? You shouldn't do that until you at least confirm you can see them on your computer and have backed them up to at least a second, preferably offline, location. I would open your LR catalog and look for for a line in your navigation module indicating recent imports? I probably haven't helped you much.

  • What are Logical FIle?

    Hi All,
    What are Logical Files ?  and how to Create Logicla Files? What is the purpose of Logical Files? What is TCode to Create Logical Files?
    Thank you,
    Madhu

    Check this link also:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/9f/db95e635c111d1829f0000e829fbfe/content.htm
    you can creat logical file path & name & assign a physical file path &
    name using FILE transaction.
    then in abap using function modules like
    FILE_GET_NAME Assign the Physical File Name Using a
    Logical File Name
    FILE_GET_NAME_AND_LOGICAL_PATH Assign physical file names and get logical
    path
    FILE_GET_NAME_USING_PATH Generate a complete file name with file
    name and logical path
    get physical path & file name, so in case of change in dir structure don't
    need to change ABAP.

    what are shortest file names for outlook express and PSE11 to import photos pls

    Hi, Troubled. The size of the file name is pretty much irrelevant here to PSE, but to answer your question directly, you will be able to import a file that has only a single character as its file name (plus the file name needs to have the required extension, such as .jpg)

  • What are .dbf Files in $ORACLE_HOME.dbs?

    It has been brought to my attention that my disk usage on my new system jumped from 22% to 68% last night. The culprit appears to be the .dbf files in $ORACLE_HOME.dbs. What are these files? Where can I go to learn more about them and what to expect of them?
    Thanks,
    Gregory

    Wow, I should have known better than to start a thread and then go to lunch. Sorry I’m taking so long getting back to all of you.
    This is Oracle 11g. Our current production system is 10g.
    Here’s a little background info. We have a flat file base ERP. Each night we copy .txt files from the ERP to the Oracle server. We have external tables, table_name_load, mapped over the .txt files. At midnight, we run a massive collection of inserts into regular tables from the load tables. We then use this day-old set of data as the basis for reports and several ApEx applications.
    You’re right, I can’t claim to have a good understanding of Optimal Flexible Architecture (OFA). I’m a developer first and I’m working on DBA skills.
    The files are all named something like:
    arch1_191_653243844.dbf
    arch1_192_653243844.dbf
    arch1_193_653243844.dbf
    etc.
    There are over 300 of them and they are about 45M to 50M each. (The whole directory is about 14G.)
    SID is oraprod
    I specified locations for each of the three datafiles for our main tablespace (on three different drives), a secondary “hot” tablespace with the most frequently accessed datafile, three index datafiles for our main index tablespace, the “hot” index tablespace, temp, undo, and the control files.
    The only things that I did not specify a location for are: sysaux; system; and users.
    SQL> select name from v$datafile;
    NAME
    /oradb/app/oradata/oraprod/system01.dbf
    /oradb/app/oradata/oraprod/sysaux01.dbf
    /d02/oraprod/undo_tbs_1.dbf
    /d02/oraprod/apex_main_tbs_1.dbf
    /d03/oraprod/lib_hot_index_tbs_1.dbf
    /d01/oraprod/lib_hot_tbs_1.dbf
    /d01/oraprod/lib_main_index_tbs_1.dbf
    /d02/oraprod/lib_main_index_tbs_2.dbf
    /d03/oraprod/lib_main_index_tbs_3.dbf
    /d02/oraprod/lib_main_tbs_1.dbf
    /d03/oraprod/lib_main_tbs_2.dbf
    /d01/oraprod/lib_main_tbs_3.dbf
    /oradb/app/oradata/oraprod/users01.dbf
    13 rows selected.
    Based on what I’ve read in the 2 Day DBA, I put my flash recovery area all alone on /d04 and I have USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST set.
    The files were created at two times: one during my initial data load yesterday; the other during the scheduled job this morning starting at midnight.
    After checking our production system, I realize that we have a whole bunch of these same kinds of files in $ORACLE_HOME/dbs there also. However, I only have them from last night, not two separate times.
    I’m concerned that the older files on the new system aren’t clearing out like the files on the production system are.

  • What are AL11 files and logical files

    what are AL11 files and logical files

    YES. these are the files that you use to load data.
    Reg your question of how to see the data sources or view data, I replied yo your other question in other thread.
    "is there any way by which we can check out that particular file in application server after the data has been loaded"
    You can see this in data load monitor.
    I dont know what do you mean by logical files.

  • What are .caar files?

    like the title says... what are .caar files?  these are new file extensions under at least the iMovie.app\Contents\ directories (and presumably others) and I'm trying to figure out what is stuff I don't need (like support for the 14 languages I don't speak) and what isn't. 
    Anyone know why they changed the file structure so much with this new version?

    I want to extract the movie poster resources from the iMovie app bundle so that I can construct my own artwork to use in iTunes. I found these .caar files, which clearly have something to do with it but I can't find any information on what they are. They're not very big. "Neon", for example, is 175Kb.
