Description

Resolution:
The tibco_.tmp* files are temporary files created when you upload EAR files into TIBCO Administrator, for example:
     tibco_ADMIN530_Administrator_mar12373.tmp
     tibco_BW530_LINUX_Administrator_mos56245.tmp

As they are not systematically cleaned up, we strongly recommend that you periodically delete them manually (or by running a clean up script periodically). Please make sure that processes using these files are stopped prior to the clean up.

Note that you can edit the TIBCO Administrator tra file and set the java.property.java.io.tmpdir property to your preferred temporary directory.


Should you not pro-actively clean up this temporary directory, the following errors may appear during an application deployment:

   com.tibco.objectrepo.OperationFailedException: Error retrieving stream for VFile
   Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /tmp/tibco_TEST_Administrator_sdc03achive1152784019234(No such file or directory) at java.io.FileInputStream.open(Native Method)

Removing all of the existing TIBCO files in the temp directory and restarting Administrator Server solves the issue.
