Store intermediate files for Email Engine by using temporary directories

Using the system temp directory

By default, Email Engine uses the system temp directory to manage the temporary files. You can locate this directory as follows:

• On Windows, check the Windows default temp directory.
• On UNIX, check the /var/tmp or /tmp directories.
• Alternatively, use the TEMP, TMP, or TEMPDIR environment variables to identify the system temp directory on any operation system.

Using an alternate temp directory

You can make Email Engine point to an alternate temp directory, if the system temp directory does not have enough space:

• On Windows, add -Djava.io.tmpdir to the EmailStart.bat file as follows:

  "%JavaPath%\java" -Djava.io.tmpdir=<directoryPath> -cp
  emaildaemon.jar;arapi%LIBVER%.jar;arutil%LIBVER%.jar;activation.jar;mail.jar;imap.jar;
  smtp.jar;pop3.jar;armapi%LIBVER%.jar com.bmc.arsys.emaildaemon.EmailDaemon

• For UNIX add -Djava.io.tmpdir to the emaild.sh file as follows:

  exec ${JAVA_BIN}/java \-Djava.io.tmpdir=<directoryPath>
  \-Djava.library.path=${InstallPath}
  \-cp ${CP_PATH} \com.bmc.arsys.emaildaemon.EmailDaemon
  \-d ${InstallPath} >${LogFile} 2>&1

<directoryPath> is the fully qualified path where the temporary files are created.
