IBM will always recommend using IBM drivers. By all means try the Microsoft driver - it may perform better. Or it may not.

The ideal solution is to prevent the jobs from failing, in which case the temporary files will automatically be removed from the scratch disk. Beyond that there is no "parameter" or any other kind of magic bullet. You need script to delete files with a specified name pattern and older than...
