JDBC Gateway import uses /tmp

On JGate the export and Import of Personal Data and Repositories and JDBC Library is an activity that needs to be done for several reasons.

When importing the settings.zip file a fileuplaod* directory is created in tmp, this has caused space shortage in the tmp.

There are concerns about the space requirements that might increase depending on the number of connections. At the moment it is not possible to change the directory.

If /tmp goes out of space Import fails.

Depending on the parameters that the z/Os system administrator have set we might need an IPL to enlarge /tmp if it goes out of space.

We would like to have the possibility to define another user defined directory.

    As suggested by our system programmers there is a way to specify another directory instead of the system /tmp that is probably the default.

    In the start.Server.sh script we have added the following:

    export IBM_JAVA_OPTIONS="-Djava.io.tmpdir=/specify/path/newdir"

    and tried import of settings, it worked and we can see the fileupload* directory under the specified path:

    drwxr-xr-x 2 USER GP 8192 Jul 3 09:55 fileupload_6490344366294896865

    It would have been nice that after the import this directory to be cancelled.
