This object reports how many completed accounting files are currently sitting on the chassis awaiting pickup and removal by an external collection agent. An admin sees this number growing over time as a sign the external collection agent has stopped pulling files, which, combined with chasAccountFileCountThreshold, is what triggers a warning trap before local disk space becomes an issue. A steadily rising value here while the external collection job is supposedly running on schedule points the admin toward a broken or stalled file-pickup process rather than an accounting generation problem.
