|---|---|---|---|
.aps | Alastri Production scheduler Scheduler project file. | ||
.hinf | Haul Infinity project file. | ||
.rara | Rapid Reserver project file. | ||
.lock | Locks out a file to one user at a time. | ||
.old | If the main project files are corrupted for any reason, the .old files can be restored as functional project files by removing “.old” from the file name. | ||
.cacheresultCache | Reduce Reduces scheduling time by saving results of previous runs. | ||
.layers | Saves triangulations externally external to the main project. Deleting the .layers file is the same as deleting all layers from the project. | ||

Additional Information - Rapid Reserver
Rapid Reserver can be run as an embedded data source or an external data source.
...
In this mode, reserves are exported/imported between the Rapid Reserver file and the Alastri Production Scheduler file.
This allows the user to store the reserves in a different working directory, or on a central server.
Embedded Data Source
In those this mode, any saves to the scheduler project result in a local saved copy of the accompanying Rapid Reserver file.
This allows the user to edit the reserves without leaving the scheduler project.
| Note |
|---|
When sharing files with another user, this mode requires you to share all supporting data files: project.atsaps, project.hinf, project.rara, project.resmodel |
Block Model Data
Rapid Reserver maintains a live connection to the block model data in the .resmodel file.
This file must be saved on the local machine (never stream block model data over a network connection), but it can be in a different subfolder in the working directory.
