Temporary Directory

Stations often write temporary files while executing SIMULIA Execution Engine jobs. This property names the path/directory where the temporary files are written.

  • Property name: fiper.station.tempdir=<directory>

  • Command line argument: tempdir:<directory>

Command line example:

station tempdir:c:\simulia\Execution Engine\2017\station_tmp\

If you are using the Run-As mode, the default temporary directory should be a directory that is accessible to all users. For example:

  • Windows: c:\temp\

  • Linux: /var/tmp/

The directory you specify must be on a disk with sufficient free space to hold all files that will be written by SIMULIA Execution Engine jobs. The default location for this directory is the user’s temporary directory (Windows) or is defined by the TMPDIR environment variable (Linux).

By default, the station logs are written to the following file in the temporary directory:

{fiper.station.tempdir}/{fiper.station.name}/station.log

and backup files station1.log, station2.log, etc.
