Specifies the location of SQL Anywhere temporary files.
TMP=path
TMPDIR=path
TEMP=path
SQL Anywhere software may create temporary files for various operations. Temporary files are held in the directory specified by one of the TMP, TMPDIR, or TEMP environment variables. If more than one of these environment variables is specified, then the first of TMP, TMPDIR, and TEMP is used.
SQL Anywhere Server checks the SATMP environment variable first. If it is not specified, then these environment variables are checked. See SATMP environment variable.
If none of the environment variables is defined, temporary files are placed in the current working directory of the server. On Unix only, if none of these environment variables are found, then /tmp is used.
On Windows CE, you can use the registry to specify the directory to use as the server's temporary directory.
For more information about setting the temporary directory value, see Registry settings on Windows CE.
Using shared memory connections with older softwareIn SQL Anywhere version 9 and earlier, the environment variable ASTMP is equivalent to SATMP. If you are using shared memory to connect version 9 and version 10 software, you must set the SATMP and ASTMP environment variables to specify the location of the temporary file. |
