TMP starting name BLS transaction

[Former Member]

Hi forum,

I would like to know under what conditions transactions with starting names "TMP..." are showed in the load transaction dialogue box .

Thanks in advance

In order to account for unsaved changes when you run a TRX from the workbench, it will actually do a temp save with the TMP naming convention you see, then run that transaction, deleting the file after the TRX completes. If for whatever reason a transaction bombs or fails that prevents the cleanup from happening you would end up with leftover TMP saves that you can simply delete.

If this is happening on a regular basis (TMP trx runs being left in there) then I would look to identify the cause, and log a customer support ticket with the steps to recreate, and attach any relevant screen captures or test transactions.
