4.10.4 Notes on temporary files
- Organization of this subsection
(1) Output directory for temporary files
The Agent Collector, Remote Monitor Collector, Agent Store, Remote Monitor Store, and Master Store services create temporary files in the following directories when you display real-time or historical reports in PFM - Web Console, display event histories, or acquire historical data using the ODBC driver:
- In Windows:
-
The directory specified by the TMP system environment variable.
- In UNIX:
-
The directory specified by the TMPDIR environment variable.
If TMPDIR is not defined, temporary files are created in /var/tmp or /tmp.
The Agent Collector, Remote Monitor Collector, Agent Store, Remote Monitor Store, and Master Store services might output the KAVE00105-E message when there is insufficient disk space on the disk where the directory is located.
In this case, if you are unable to secure any more free space, you can change the directory in which temporary files are created by defining the following environment variable:
|
Environment variable |
Description |
|---|---|
|
JPC_TMPDIR |
Specifies the path to the directory where temporary files are to be output. |
- Important note
-
In Windows, define the JPC_TMPDIR environment variable as a system environment variable. If you have configured Performance Management to start automatically in UNIX by using an automatic start script, use the following procedure to edit the automatic start script file:
-
Log on as the root user.
-
Open the automatic start script file jpc_start in an editor, for example vi, and locate a line that resembles the following:
export PATH SHLIB_PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH LIBPATH HCCLIBCNF
-
Modify the line you located in step 2 as follows:
JPC_TMPDIR=temporary-file-output-directory
export PATH SHLIB_PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH LIBPATH HCCLIBCNF JPC_TMPDIR
Note: Ensure that the disk where the path specified in temporary-file-output-directory is located has sufficient free space.
-
Restart the system.
-
(2) Estimating the size of temporary files
