    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The temporary directory becomes full    *
    *                      because trace files are left inside     *
    *                      the local file system after import,     *
    *                      export, and install operations are      *
    *                      completed. During the import, export,   *
    *                      or install operations, each snapshot    *
    *                      is extracted to the temporary folder    *
    *                      and the contents are parsed. After      *
    *                      the import, export or install           *
    *                      operation are completed, the            *
    *                      temporary content remains on the file   *
    *                      system.  On Linux machine, the          *
    *                      temporary folder is  /tmp.
    *                      Windows machine, the temporary folder   *
    *                      is the same as %TEMP% system variable   *
    *                      defined.                                *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    IBM BPM does not remove temporary content after a snapshot has
