Configuring file system temporary storage

Only if you use the deprecated in-process API, Content Delivery stores files destined for storage on the file system in a temporary location before writing them to their actual file system location. This location defaults to the value of the Java variable java.io.tmpdir. To specify a different location, set the TempFileSystemTransactionLocation attribute in the Storages element.

Procedure

  1. Open cd_storage_conf.xml located in the config\ subdirectory of your Content Delivery root location in a plain-text editor or XML editor.
  2. In the Storages element, set the TempFileSystemTransactionLocation attribute to the location you want Content Delivery to use to temporarily store these files:
    <Storages TempFileSystemTransactionLocation="c:\temp\storage">
    	...
    </Storages>
  3. Save and close the cd_storage_conf.xml file.
