BI Data Temp Directory - safe to purge?

Hi,
We are facing a disk space issue with our BIDATA/tmp directory. It is about 16gb in size and files keep getting created there. I am wondering if it's safe to purge this directory, or will there be any problems? Is it a good idea to set up a cron job and purge nightly?
Our environment is OBIEE 10.1.3.3.3 and Red Hat EL
Thanks,
Kevin

Users Data/Temp directory Location ?

Hello,
I would like to know that what will be the data/temp directory path for users. like in Windows we have Users/Application data...
And how to get these property programatically.
I am creating a application which need to configure independently for users. i.e. users credentials will be differ on same machine.
So please let me know how can I do that ?
Thanks

Can't write to temp directory

hi! i'm trying to install Oracle9i enterprise edition on a Windows XP Pro system. once i click setup, it gives me a message saying that the installer can't write to the temp directory?!
on checking the temp directory, i found that it's marked as read only, and there's no way i can't uncheck it, it just keeps coming back?!! even if i create a new folder and specify it as the temp directory, it is the same.
is this a problem with the Oracle installer or windows? cos i'm installing other softwares(from other vendors) and it's okay.
i am already having the full computer administrator rights.
thx.

Can I somehow disable DM's awareness of the source control?That's in "Preferences>Extensions" - disable versioning support there. Still I won't recommend to save it over existing design - existing directories will be deleted including svn directories. It's safer to save the content in another directory and copy it back to versioned directory; also files that have older date should be removed from versioned folders.

Thanks, takeing my image's from the SP0 folder and temporarily placing them on the desktop, while I removed, AFP,NFS and NETBOOT from the services, stopping the admin, restarting the admin, re-enabling the services, and then coping the images back to the SP0 folder made them visible.
Now I have more issues and questions. I enabled both images, 1 a install, the other a boot, and no default, however, when I boot with the N key, it doesnt ask anything, and just goes to the netboot image. When I un-enable the netboot, and force it to the netinstall, the client machine just turns off (this is the same machine that I had the image source built on, makes no sense to me).
And back to my open directory, none of the office workstations that have been bound (they all say network services availble on the logon box) can logon with any of the directory accounts, the only one that can logon is the Directory Admin account I created. DHCP is being served from the windows machines, but I know the OD server can be seen, how else could the DirAdmin log in, just not the users. I have read that It might be home directories not being found or something, but I assumed that the home directory got built on the client when the user logs in, thats the whole purpose, to have 1 place to build accounts and let the new user grab a workstation to log on.
I'll keep looking, but any more help on both topics would be appreciated.
Thanks

Javahost .in and .out files in temp directory?

Hi Folks,
Has anyone ever seen temp files being created by the javahost process, which are stored in the temp directory for the user that runs the javahost service (obviously running windows) ?
The temp files have this kind of naming:
Charts_xxxxx_xxxxxxxxxx.javahost.in
or
Charts_xxxxx_xxxxxxxxxx.javahost.out
In our case we have clustered OBIPS servers and javahosts. both javahosts services run under the same user account, but we only see the temp files being accumulated on one of the servers (in <AccountName>\Local Settings\Temp directory)
Is there a way to turn this on/off? are these safe to delete?
Thanks in advance for any help with this.

ok, got this one resolved... i found out that these temp files are a side effect of increasing the javahost logging using the "logconfig.txt" file found in OracleBI\web\javahost\config directory.
here is the default setup (top of this file)...
# Default global logging level.
# This specifies which kinds of events are logged across
# all loggers. For any given facility this global level
# can be overriden by a facility specific level
# Note that the ConsoleHandler also has a separate level
# setting to limit messages printed to the console.
.level= WARNING
#.level= INFO
#.level= ALL
#.level= OFF
we can see the .level= WARNING is set
on our server, someone had set the level to ALL like this:
# Default global logging level.
# This specifies which kinds of events are logged across
# all loggers. For any given facility this global level
# can be overriden by a facility specific level
# Note that the ConsoleHandler also has a separate level
# setting to limit messages printed to the console.
#.level= WARNING
#.level= INFO
.level= ALL
#.level= OFF
this results in temp files left in the temp directory of whatever user runs the javahost service.

Possible Bug: Excessive writing to TEMP directory for any PDF metadata change

I am using the latest version of Adobe Bridge CC 6.1.0.116 x64 for Windows.
I use Adobe Bridge to manage large archives of scanned PDF's composed of full page JPG's.
Whenever I attempt to change metadata on these PDF's, Bridge performs heavy writing to the TEMP directory. Even when using an SSD, changing any metadata is very slow and the TEMP writes are enough to produce noticeable wear on the disk.
[I would have attached screenshots, but I get a "That image type is forbidden" error in these forums whenever I attempt to upload screenshots (either JPG or PNG; and they are less than 900px on longest edge).]
Resource Manager:
IMAGE: Bridge.exe
FILE:...\Temp\A9R12b8-1315f76
WRITE: 349,175,808 B/sec
The Task Manager also shows 356MB/sec writes for over fifteen seconds for each metadata change, with brief pauses between files.
This amount of data written amounts to about 20GB each minute!
(Note that the files I was modifying in this test averaged only about 100MB each.)
Bridge did not always do this. I remember earlier versions performed metadata changes swiftly without these excessive write issues. I do not remember in which version this problem began, however.
Resaving the files in question does not solve the problem. I have also tried exporting as Postscript and re-Distilling, and even exporting JPG's and recreating the PDF from scratch.
This problem seems to affect any PDF that is a collection of full-page JPG's. The PDF's that I have made from TIFF's or non-rendered text do not cause this issue. On non-JPG based PDF's metadata changes are fast and do not cause noticeable writes to the TEMP directory.

Thanks a lot Rob. That works.

When I open a pdf file in Firefox and then save, how do I set the initial directory to be closer to what I want instead of a temp directory?

When I choose to save a pdf file directly when using Firefox, it works perfectly. However, when I choose to open a pdf instead and then save it, the save directly displayed will always be a temp directory and it would be more convenient for me to choose a directory closer to where most of my files normally go. How do I change this?

How to save file in users temp directory in java

How to save file in users temp directory as "<Drive Name>:\Documents and Settings\<User Name\Local Settings\Temp".

Shouldn't the System property "user.home" reference to that directory on windows? So if you call System.getProperty("user.home");, I think it should return that path at least up to <User Name>. I never really tried it on Windows though.

Applet accessing temp directory in Vista

My signed applet requires access to a directory where it can read/write files. Apparently the temp directory is one place where an applet can do this. The method System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir") returns the path to the temp directory on Windows XT or 2000. But Vista denies access to reading this property. I also tried System.getProperty("user.name") with the same result.
Any suggestions on how to get the path to the temp directory under Vista, or some other low security area where a signed applet can read/write files?
Thans for your help.

Jeremy Jediel Gongora then it is likely a file permission failure as was previously discussed. You can find details on how to adjust the file permissions of your temp directory at Error "Exit 6" or "Exit 7" | Install log | Read, write, system file errors | CS5, CS5.5 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/error-exit-6-exit-7.html.
I would also recommend reviewing your installation log files for additional error messages.

Jar File caching in temp directory problem

Hello,
I have a problem where the java plugin is caching jar_cache9999.jar (where 9999 is any number 0-9) files in the temp directory. I have tried following the directions for disk caching in the documentation, but these files are always created, never destroyed.
I was wondering:
1. Is there a simple setting that I could set that should resolve this problem? (un-setting "cache jars in memory" wouldn't seem to solve the problem as I would think that would only force the browser to use the same jar if it had already been loaded)
2. Has this problem been corrected in later releases of the java plugin? I am using the jre1.2.2. When I looked at the problem here in the forums, the bug that was listed was listed as fixed.
Thanks,
Dan Hughes

Hi,
Java Plug-in has supported disk caching in previous versions by using the same cache the browser uses for all other web documents. This works for casual applet usage, but larger applets can often get flushed from the cache to make room for other documents since the browser has no knowledge that an applet file might be needed in the future. The result is that this caching strategy fails where is needed most in large business applets.
From 1.3. the new feature is activated by including the new "cache_option" , "cache_archive" and "cache_version" values in the EMBED/OBJECT tag that specifies the use of Java Plug-in as below:
<OBJECT ....>
     <PARAM NAME="archive" VALUE="...">
     <PARAM NAME="cache_option" VALUE="...">
     <PARAM NAME="cache_archive" VALUE="...">
     <PARAM NAME="cache_version" VALUE="...">
</OBJECT>
or
<EMBED ....
     archive="..."
     cache_option="..."
     cache_archive="..."
     cache_version="...">

Redirection of deployment.user.cachedir to Windows Temp-directory

Hello,
I have a problem with the configuration of the cache-directory on a Windows Terminal-Server.
On a Windows Terminal-Server each registered user gets a Windows temp-directory, which can be seen in variable %TEMP% and looks like "D:\temp\1" or "D:\temp\2" and so on.
Now I want to redirect the cache-directory, set in file deployment.properties, property deployment.user.cachedir, to that temp-directory for the user.
How can I configure JavaWS correctly ?
Please help !! Thanks in advance

Thank you for your response. I am using jdk1.3.1 and
jre 1.4.2_01 which I just downloaded the other day.
The properties did indeed list out in the console, but
I will check a previous jre to see if they are there
as well. I agree that if the property is available,
then it should return the value.5. What system properties can be read by applets, and how?
In both Java-enabled browsers and the appletviewer, applets can read these system properties by invoking System.getProperty(String key):
key               meaning
java.version          Java version number
java.vendor          Java vendor-specific string
java.vendor.url     Java vendor URL
java.class.version     Java class version number
os.name          Operating system name
os.arch          Operating system architecture
os.version     Operating system version
file.separator     File separator (eg, "/")
path.separator     Path separator (eg, ":")
line.separator     Line separator
Applets are prevented from reading these system properties:
key               meaning
java.home          Java installation directory
java.class.path     Java classpath
user.name          User account name
user.home          User home directory
user.dir          User's current working directory
To read a system property from within an applet, simply invoke System.getProperty(key) on the property you are interested in.
