tsf33D.

tsf43.

Can we delete this temporary syndication files?

Hi Philip,

If the files are present in the archive folder of the syndicated folder structure you can delete them off.

If would suggest a monthly housekeeping activity if the transactions are too much . Also check the import folder structures as well for the same.

You can write a script and run this on a monthly basis to wipe out any data prior to a particular day, this makes sure that capacity management is done on a periodic basic.

Thanks Vag for a quick response. I'm not sure where I could find this "archive folder" but upon searching on the whole filesystem, one particular tfs file only exists in  /usr/sap/SID/MDSS42/work and /usr/sap/SID/MDSS42/work/backup_tsf

Hi Philip,

I was heading towards the below path

\usr\sap\<SAP System ID>\<MDM Server instance ID>\mdm\distributions\<Remote System>\<Port>\Archive Folder

You need to have a look at structure for every Remotesystem and Port combination and wipe the dataoff once you clear it with your your business.

I can't find the Archive Folder but I noticed that some tfs files that are in /usr/sap/SID/MDSS42/work have backup located in /usr/sap/SID/MDSS42/work/backup_tsf.

Is there a config file to check this archive folder's location? I tried checking mdss.ini but no luck.
