How to change tmp directory

Hi All,

Is it possible to change the directory where DataStage writes the buffer files for IPCs, transformers, etc? I changed UVTEMP and regened the uvconfig file and I also changed the tmpdir variable, but the server jobs still write to /tmp.

I would have thought that would have done it but I'm not where I can check right now. Perhaps TEMPDIR as well as TMPDIR? Might be more of a Windows thing, though...

I got an answer on this. I needed to add an environment variable called TEMP and then add the directory I wanted to direct the files to. Thanks for the response chulett!

Good to know.
