| | Error: "PMDataAccessLayer Error creating temporary file" (stranded tmp files) |  
 | Cause |  There are tmp files inside the data folder and/or tmp folders inside the PVData folder which should not exist. 
There are tasks that temporarily create these tmp files/folders but then are removed when the task finishes. 
They may not have been removed due to a previous abort or other error.  |
