Re: IDBxxxxx.DTF files in Domino folder on Server

What are IDB*.DFT files?
The Domino server uses temporary storage for the doc cache extended hash, 
which is used to store profile document control data. This temporary 
storage is saved on disk in files in the format IDB<number>.DTF in the 
Domino Data directory. 

Workload drives count.

IDBxxxxx.DTF files in Domino folder on Server






In the past I had maybe a dozen files in my Domino server's folder that 
were named IDBxxxxx.DTF. (where xxxxx represents five digits). Not knowing 

what they were and the fact that there wasn't a lot of them, I left them 
alone. I had posted here awhile back about them and concluded (from the 
response) that they were the result of certificate authority implentation. 



Now I see that there are now over 120 of these, all with today's date and 
a timestamp that is beyond the time when I applied a corporate wide 
desktop/security/mail policy to all my users - so I suspect these files 
are the result of my enabling of the policy. I haven't changed anything 
regarding certificate authority stuff. I did see a post here in the 
archives that 'dtf' stands for domino temporary file...

Anyone with an update regarding these files and their purpose? And more 
importantly can I remove them?
