Issue/Introduction

How to change the location of the Temp folder for TIBCO Spotfire Server.

Resolution

On Windows:

  1. Stop the TIBCO Spotfire Server service.
  2. Run the command "service.bat remove". You need to run the command from "<server install dir>\tomcat\bin" (default C:\tibco\tss\x.x.x\tomcat\bin).
  3. Open the file service.bat in a text editor and search for the string "Djava.io.tmpdir=%CATALINA_BASE%\temp" .
  4. Remove the string "%CATALINA_BASE%\temp" and replace it with the path you want it to use. Note that the folder must exist and will not be created automatically. If it does not exist, the Spotfire server will throw an error.
