Environment:
===========
TIBCO Administrator 5.x.x
TIBCO Runtime Agent 5.x.x
OS : RHEL 5.x

Symptoms:
========
During deployment of the EAR file, deployment fails or freezes up the Admin UI.

Cause:
=====

There is an issue with the /tmp folder. It might be full as the user deploys applications.

Resolution:

==========

1). Stop Admin, Hawk and all other TIBCO process.

2). Backup and clean the temporary directory by removing the directories that start with tibco_<Domain Name>_*

3). Restart the Admin, Hawk and applications.

If the issue continues, try to define a custom /tmp directory using the parameter

"java.property.java.io.tmpdir" in the tibcoadmin_<Domain Name>.tra

and

hawkagent_<Domain Name>.tra.

A best practice is to configure unique temporary directories for each domain. To configure a separate temp storage for Appmanage, hawkagent & Administrator,  add the following property:
            
java.property.java.io.tmpdir=<new_tmp_dir>
    - For Hawk:  to hawkagent_<domain_name>.tra
    - For Administrator: to tibcoadmin_<domain_name>.tra
    - For AppManage: to AppManage.tra (when the deployment is done using AppManage)
    - Create <new_tmp_dir>
    - Restart domain Hawk Agent and Administrator.

Be sure to check the <new_tmp_dir> folder size regularly, making sure they have  plenty of space for temporary files. Configuring a dedicated temp directory has the advantage of a reduced risk of accidental corruption by a user or some automated utility cleaning up the temporary files while Admin/hawk/AppManage are running. Never clean up the temporary files while those processes are running.
