Advise on C:\Inetpub\wwroot\TM1WebEx
Posted: Mon Dec 21, 2009 5:43 pm
I am a Newbie.
Site is complaining that the C:\ of their TM1 servers are running low on disk space and the main culprit is due this folder => C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\TM1WebEx\Excelsheet\* taking up considerable disk space. I have read up on the help and it seems we can change the web.config file param to read as below and thus repointing the temporary files (generated when viewing and exporting of websheets and cube views ) to be stored in another directory/drive instead.
Web.config file
<!-- Sets a separate virtual directory for caching files -->
<add key="UseSeparateVirtualCache" value="Y;Url=;AbsolutePath=C:\Temp" />
I have tested on my lappie and it seems to work a charm but it only generates C:\Temp\ExcelSheet and not the C:\Temp\UserTempDir.
The question then is:
1) What is UserTempDir used for?
2) What do we do with the contents of C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\TM1WebEx\Excelsheet?
3) Since these are temp files how often/do they get deleted?
