iMacros EOL - Attention!

The renewal maintenance has officially ended for Progress iMacros effective November 20, 2023 and all versions of iMacros are now considered EOL (End-of-Life). The iMacros products will no longer be supported by Progress (aside from customer license issues), and these forums will also no longer be moderated from the Progress side.

Thank you again for your business and support.

Sincerely,
The Progress Team

Imacros Disk Space consumption

Post by loriuve » Fri Oct 18, 2019 7:18 am

Hi,
I run multiple Imacros session by command line.
I use the CLEAR comand for delete cache and cookies, but Imacros continue to consume disk space (about 100 mb every 5 minutes) and when the disk space is finish I can't run other Imacros sessions.

I use this command:

VERSION BUILD=12.5.503.8802
CLEAR
ONDIALOG POS=1 BUTTON=OK CONTENT=
ONDIALOG POS=2 BUTTON=OK CONTENT=
ONDIALOG POS=3 BUTTON=OK CONTENT=
TAB T=1
TAB CLOSEALLOTHERS
SET !WAITPAGECOMPLETE YES
SET !USERAGENT "{{AGENT}}"
URL GOTO=https://wwwwebsite.com

When I check my server with CCleaner I see that all space it's occupied by Internet Explorer cache and temporary files.

OS: Windows Server 2016 Standard 64bit
12 GB Ram
7 processor

Thank's very much!!
Lor

As you correctly noted, it is Internet Explorer that is consuming the disk space, not iMacros (the iMacros browser is really just a wrapper around the core IE engine).

Does the disk usage not decrease immediately after calling the CLEAR command?

You can also set a limit on the disk space that IE uses for temporary files by changing the relevant setting in Internet Options on your machine.
