  • 1.  LISATMP - LADS folder - Size issue

    Posted Aug 22, 2016 02:08 PM

    Under home path - lisa - lisatmp_8.3.0- lads --

     

    it has created many folders names like C49F5F8B252711E6AEC8005056800F6A etc.,

     

    I have seen around 30 files and each has size of 25 MB and more.. can I delete these files ? will it have any impact on my service which is running if i delete these files ?

     

    Also I would like to know how can I control these files ? like automatically delete after few days etc. ,

     

    OS : Linux - redhat

    DevTest 8.3.0

    Yes, it is safe to delete lads folders under the DevTest temp directory. It will not have any impact on the virtual server but while recording transaction doesn't delete this folder until the recording session is completed.

     

    I am not sure if DevTest any option to automatically clean up the lads folders periodically or based on the size.

     

    Thanks,

    At runtime the images are loaded in memory & the traversal happens in memory itself

    Internally virtual services are deploy as mar files . mar file  contain vsm, vsi and config files. The mar’s are stored on the server under $LISA_HOME/vseDeploy/VSE_2013 folder. As Prem said when you deploy the server services images is loaded into the memory and mar’s are stored no the server.

     

    Every time VSE is started/restarted it will automatically deploy all the mar’s (virtual services) under the vseDeploy folder.
