Table C–1: Files Generated by Results
File
Description
database.qc7 
A query configuration file (QC7). The query configuration file contains the default file relationships, security settings, label settings, data export settings, and report settings for a Results application. The database value is the name of the first application database connected for the Results application. Results cannot run without the QC7 file. For more information about query configuration files, see Administering Results."This appendix provides information about editing a QC7 file.
database.r 
The main fastload procedure for a Results application. The fastload system optimizes the loading of information from the current QC7 file into Results at startup. The database value is the base string specified in the Deployment dialog box for the generation of fastload files for a Results application. The default base string is the first five characters of the database name used to name the current QC7 file. For more information about the fastload system for a Results application, see Programming Results."
base###.r 
baser.r 
Secondary fastload files. Base is the base string specified in the Deployment dialog box for the generation of fastload files for a Results application. The default base string is the first five characters of the database name used to name the current QC7 file.
basef.p 
basef.r 
The feature files of a Results application. The feature file is a Progress procedure file in the fastload system that defines and loads features into Results at startup. The basef.r file is not a compiled version of the basef.p file. It is optimized for fast loads and accesses internal data structures of the Results product. The source code in the basef.p file performs that same function as the basef.r file, only slower. It is supplied to support the deployment process of a Results application. For more information about the fastload system for a Results application, see Programming Results."
basemt.p 
basemt.r 
The user interface (UI) files of a Results application. The UI file is a Progress procedure file in the fastload system that configures the menu system and tool bar of Results at startup. The basemt.r is not a compiled version of the basemt.p file. It is optimized for fast loads and accesses internal data structures of the Results product. The source code in the basemt.p file performs that same function as the basemt.r file, only slower. It is supplied to support the deployment process of a Results application. For more information about the fastload system for a Results application, see Programming Results."
public.qd7 
userid.qd7 
results.qd7 
Query directory files. The public query directory (public.qd7) contains query definitions accessible by all or a select group of users. Results also automatically generates a query directory to store the query definitions of a user (userid.qd7). It uses the user’s user ID to name the query directory file. For users who have the blank user ID, Results creates the results.qd7 query directory file to store the query definitions of that user.
que#####.p 
Source files for query definitions in the query definitions files located in the current directory. Results creates query source files in the directory that contains the corresponding query definition. Query source files are five-digit numbers (#####). Results uses these numbers to maintain the queries. If you delete a query source file, you cannot open the corresponding query in Results.
database.ql 
A query log file. Results uses this file to record status and error messages that occur when you build the query configuration file or open a query. For more information about the query log file, see Administering Results."
base.txt 
The deployment report for a Results application. This file lists the files to deploy for a Results application. Base is the base string specified in the Deployment dialog box for the generation of fastload files for a Results application. For more information about the deployment report, see Deploying Results Applications."
_qbf####.d 
_qbfq####.p 
_qbf####.p 
temp.p 
Temporary files that Results uses to store information. As you exit Results, it automatically deletes these files. But if your system crashes, they could remain on your disk. You can delete them manually.
