JR63124: THE ANONYMOUS FOLDER CREATED DURING STARTUP ISN'T REMOVED AFTER

workflow.2102.delta.repository

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• During a session, a directory with the prefix "anonymous" is
  created in <BAW_HOME>/<profileName>/wstemp/anonymous<ID>. The
  anonymous* folder contains the .repositoryContext file and the
  .workspace_ file with the following stack information:
  
  Call stack info of createWorkSpace(prop), workspace id
  anonymous1607453906732:
  com.ibm.ws.sm.workspace.impl.WorkSpaceManagerImpl.getCallStack(W
  orkSpaceManagerImpl.java:636)
  
  com.ibm.ws.sm.workspace.impl.WorkSpaceManagerImpl.createWorkSpac
  e(WorkSpaceManagerImpl.java:156)
  
  The wstemp folder holds configuration changes someone made for a
  specific session, but this folder should be removed after the
  session is closed. In some circumstances, the session is not
  discarded automatically, causing the size of the wstemp folder
  to grow and risk unpredictable situations, such as an out of
  memory (OOM) condition on a deployment manager (dmgr) or server.
