Folder size increasing

[BRLUIZFELIPPE]

Hi NI engineers,

During the development of an application, I was surprised with a message from the operational system warning me that my PC was running with very few memory space. After searching the folder with high data size, I realized it was <C:\Program Files (x86)\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2011\data>. Many *.CDPG files are created each minute in that folder, even though Labview is not running!!  Each file sizes around 1MB. To free space on my PC and get it working again, I had to delete around 65000 files. After a quick research on the internet, I found out this files are created by citadel database. I removed all my data sets in MAX, but the folder stills growing.

Do you have an idea on how I could prevent from this unexpected folder growth?

Thanks in advance,

Luiz

Luiz,

i recommend you to look into the Distributed System Manager and see if there are many shared variables deployed.

I would expect that you deployed lots of shared variables with DSC logging enabled over the past time which will log data as soon as you boot the system....

Norbert,

You bet!!!

There are many shared variables deployed. Prior to ask you, I changed the their log properties, but the folder was growing still.According to your suggestion and undeploying them, no other file was created within the folder.

Thanks a lot for your prompt answer!

Hi,

Sorry for the intrusion.

I have a problem:

Using the "list folder" I have a list of files. I would make sure to read the files in the folder to a specific file.
Does anyone know how to do?
