Configuring file system temporary storage

Content Delivery stores files destined for storage on the file system in a temporary location before writing them to their actual file system location. You can specify the temporary location by setting the TempFileSystemTransactionLocation attribute in the Storages element.

About this task

If unspecified, this temporary location defaults to the value of the Java variable java.io.tmpdir, typically a location such as c:\temp or c:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\1.

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.
