GBRSPEC gets deleted

[samarchon]

Hello All,

I have a strange problem in our E1 8.9 (TR 8.93_K1) install. Once in a while the application server GBRSPECS (xdb and ddb) gets down to really small size (0K and 2K) and the jobs end in error. There is no set day and time or any particular job that causes this error. I am not sure what causes these spec files to become so small may be it is getting deleted and recreated. But why? Did anybody ever experience this? I have reindexed the following tables, still the issue is not fixed:

F98306 -- POTEXT
F98710 -- DDTABL
F98720 -- BOBSPEC
F98740 -- GBRLINK
F98741 -- GBRSPEC
F98743 -- DSTMPL
F98745 -- SMRTTMPL
F98750 -- FDATEXT
F98751 -- FDASPEC
F98760 -- RDATEXT
F98761 -- RDASPEC

I am not able to recreate this error when ever I want. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Sam,

It's nice to see another E1 site with a very similar configuration -- except we have mostly fat clients.

Do you have any antivirus, counterspyware, or related agents running that might be deleting these spec files? Is it just the gbrspec files that get deleted or are any other spec files also getting deleted?

Have got the same trouble with Norton AV. If so you"ll have to exlcude specs files from NAV control.
