Temporary File Path

Restriction: This topic applies to Windows environments only.

Set the temporary path to identify where the system should write temporary files used by the XDB Server, such as temporary files that are written when a sort operation overflows the allocated Sort Space Size. Enter a path to a specific drive (volume) and directory. This directory must be accessible to the XDB Server.

To set the parameter on UNIX systems:

  1. Press F2 Location and Path Selection.
  2. Press F2 Temporary File Path.
  3. Enter the path and press Enter.

To set the parameter on Windows 2000:

  1. Click the Paths tab.
  2. Enter the path in the Temporary File Path text box.
