blobs.dtsf file on the collector

Hi,

There is a  blobs.dtsf file which is taking around 14 GB space on the collector machine. What is the purpose of that file? Can it be deleted?

Thanks,

Anuj Dalal

Hi.

This is part of the class cache, and you do not want to delete it. It will grow if you have what is called a "class cache explosion". If you have 6.1, make sure you have the latest fixpack as it can potentially reduce the size of this file by a lot.

We are using 4.2 and working on upgrading it, but in the meanwhile, is there any other way to reduce the size of this file?

I would advise creating a support case for this. I know that there are some tricks to possibly making it shrink, but support will be able to better advise.
