[rm-users] Looking for other large volume users

[Juan Alvarado]

I think that you must use the keepalive parameter for the output of the
reports.  We already notice that when you run a report this create a lot
of files for the same report.  I think the solution is dont create an
spf only an html, but i dont know how to do it!!.

Subject: [rm-users] Looking for other large volume users


Is anyone else in the rm-users community doing a very large volume of
reports? We have been live for two months and our "server" directory is
now
approximately 10GB. We usually pump in anywhere between 800 and 1500
files
(spf sets) per day (depending on the day). 

I have just started to collect information on growth rates, so I don't
really have any solid stats yet, but it seems like RM is using
considerably
more disk space than the source files we have going into it. I realize
that
RM generates a number of files to support the whole spf set / html
files.
Sqribe support claims that the input to output ratio is about 2.5:1 but
it
seems higher than this. Has anyone else calculated a ratio like this? (I
am
in the process of collecting this info myself and will post my results.)

Pardon my ramblings here, I was just wondering if anyone else has
noticed
that RM seems to be growing into this uncontrollable space beast......

Anyway, any comments, ponderings, observations, musings etc. would be
helpful. I will post my own results after a few days......
