Changing the location of temporary workspace files for V5.0 and V5.1 releases
 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
Changing the location of Install-Root/wstemp folders.
 
Cause
The administrative console workspace allows client applications to navigate the configuration. The default workspace root is calculated based on the user installation root: Install-root/wstemp. This document describes how you can change the default location of temporary workspace files.
 
Resolving the problem
Example to change the DeploymentManager temporary workspace location.
  1. Click System Administration > Deployment Manager in the navigation tree of the administrative console.
  2. Click Process Definition > Java Virtual Machine
  3. In Generic JVM arguments, enter:

    -Dworkspace.user.root=new_wstemp_folder_location


  4. Click apply, save, and restart the deploymentManager

This can be done even during server startup as follows,

startManager -Dworkspace.user.root=new_wstemp_folder_location

Changing the wstemp location during server startup is not persistent. The temp variable will be lost if the server is stopped. Also, the wstemp location cannot be changed during server startup if the temp variable parameter is already set in the adminconsole Generic JVM arguments under JVM.
