Changing the location of temporary configuration files

You can change the default directory where temporary configuration files are stored.

About this task

The configuration repository uses copies of configuration files and temporary files while processing repository requests. It also uses a backup directory while managing the configuration. You can change the default locations of these files from the configuration directory to a directory of your choice by using the administrative console.

The default location for the configuration temporary directory is profile_root/config/temp. Use the administrative console to change the location of the temporary repository file location for all types of server processes. For example, to change the setting for Application Server, do the following steps:

1. Click Servers > Application servers in the navigation tree of the administrative console. Then, click server name > Administration > Administration services > Repository service > Custom properties.
2. On the Properties page, click New.
3. On the settings page for a property, define a property for the temporary file location. The key for this property is was.repository.temp. The value is the full path name to the desired location.
4. Click OK.
