The temporary directory used by Trifork Application Server may contain files that are never deleted. If you do not clean your temporary directories regularly, it may be helpful to use a script which is started by a cron job (Unix) or a scheduled task and a batch file (Windows). In order to not delete files that belong to open sessions, it is recommended to only delete files that were created a couple of days ago.
Please note that the temporary directory of the Trifork server does not necessarily match the directory commonly used for this purpose by your operating system – /tmp
or /var/tmp
on Unix and %TEMP%
on Windows. Furthermore, the temporary directory may be user-specific.
The path of the temporary directory used by the Trifork server is taken from the Java variable java.io.tmpdir
. It can be modified using the option
-Djava.io.tmpdir=/path/to/tmpDir
. With Unix installations, use the instance-specific configuration file for the start script, rc.npsd.conf
(see triforkArgs
) for this. With Windows installations, add the option to the service.ini
file of the Trifork server.
