.AOD Files Left Behind on MSG 88 Load Failure

[JJeffrey]

We're running (currently) CMOD V9.0.0.7 on RHEL5. When we experience a load failure for a document there is an .AOD file left behind in the working storage filesystem (arsacif/acif1). If I delete the .AOD file because the input was bad and replaced, ARSLOAD (running as daemon) stops on the next set of documents set to load.

1. Does anyone know what these leftover files are?
2. Why would deleting them from working storage cause ARSLOAD to stop?

You should be able to change your ARSTMP parameter in ars.cfg to put those temporary files into a different filesystem where they won't clutter up your working directories.  You'll have to restart IBM CMOD for the change to take effect.  Then you could empty that directory of it's contents when you run your IBM CMOD startup scripts, or when your server is rebooted.
