OpenInsight Specific

A user asks why so many files are held open for each client logged in.

He uses NT4 Server manager to view these.

Each additional user opens a new set.

Files include:

APILH2, APPDLG, BBAR, BIG, BTTNCUR, CREVEXT, DATATBL, EDITABLE, GAUGE, IM11BMP, IM11DXF, IM11EPS, IM11FAX, iM11GIF, IM11IMG, IM11JPG, IM11PCD, IM11PCX, IM11PNG, IM11TGA, IM11TIF, IM11WMF, IM11WPG, IMGMAN11, LH, NCAUI , OENGINE.EXE, OI30DSXO, OI30DCHD, OICOMMON, OINSIGHT.EXE, OIPI.EXE, OIPI.LIC, OIRES, OTL , PRINTER

Well,

APILH2 is the NPP

APPDLG is for the PS dialog boxes

BBAR I can't remember

BIG is a catch-all

BTTNCUR I can't remember

CREVEXT is for the engine

DATATBL and EDITABLE are the editable (duh!)

GAUGE is the gauge you see during repos rebuilds

IM11BMP, IM11DXF, IM11EPS, IM11FAX, iM11GIF, IM11IMG, IM11JPG, IM11PCD, IM11PCX, IM11PNG, IM11TGA, IM11TIF, IM11WMF, IM11WPG and IMGMAN11 are for the reporter

LH is LH

NCAUI I can't remember

OENGINE.EXE is OENGINE.EXE (duh!)

OI30DSXO and OI30DCHD are for the DSO

OICOMMON is for PS

OINSIGHT.EXE is OINSIGHT.EXE

OIPI.EXE and OIPI.LIC are the OIPI

OIRES are OI resources

OTL I can't remember

PRINTER is for printing.

RCLNPCLI is for NPP, I think

REVCAPI, REVSHELL, REVSTAT, RTICTL, RTP65, SELECT, xform and xform2 are all engine stuff (immaterial as to what they are)

SSUTL.OCX I've never heard of.

Why are they all loaded, well, they're all used at one point. I'd worry if they are still open when OI is closed.

Colin,

Windows opens those files as a result of loading them to use as dynamically linkable libraries (DLL's). Apparently it leaves them open until the application terminates.

Well Aaron,

The list of open files (especialy the DLL files) look familiar to me, but as you mentioned, you'd be more worried as these files are still open after the application OI was closed.

Well, this is the case in my environment !!!!

Should I worry ???

Only when I restart my workstation, the files are closed !
