If I recall correctly I had a similar issue in some old Ensemble system but I'm not 100% sure the global was really that.

If you can stop the production, then I think it's safe to kill ^Ens.AppData, with the production running I don't think killing it it's a good idea.

A curiosity, do you use EnsLib.SQL.Snapshot class in some SQL host (BO)?
Is the content of ^Ens.AppData somewhat related to EnsLib.SQL.Snapshot?
Looking at the content of ^Ens.AppData, what type of adapter/operation is likely using it?
