Defining the directory for search and query results from Metadata Workbench and from Business Glossary
Problem(Abstract)
Searches and queries in IBM InfoSphere Metadata Workbench and IBM InfoSphere Business Glossary might generate a large number of results. If the directory where the search or query writes its results is not large enough, IBM WebSphere Application Server might hang.
Cause
The owner of the WebSphere Application Server process must have write access to the directory that is defined by the JVM variable, java.io.tmpdir. In addition, the file system with that directory must be large enough to handle search and query results.
Diagnosing the problem
Perform these checks:
- The owner of the WebSphere Application Server process has write access to the java.io.tmpdir directory.
- The size of the file system with the java.io.tmpdir directory must have at least 1 GB of free space.
Resolving the problem
Several steps can be taken to resolve these problems. You must have the role of Suite Administrator to perform these steps.
Problem | Action |
Not enough free space in the java.io.tmpdir directory | Increase the amount of free space in the java.io.tmpdir directory to at least 1 GB. |
Write access is not assigned to the owner of WebSphere Application Server process | Assign write access to the java.io.tmpdir directory. |
Write access cannot be assigned to the owner of WebSphere Application Server process | Create a different Java system property by doing these steps: 1. In the left pane of IBM WebSphere Administrative Console, click Servers > Application servers. 2. Select your server and then click Process Definitions > Java Virtual Machine > Custom Properties. 3. Click New to create a Java system property. · In the Name field, type vr.temp.location. · In the Value field, type the full path of the directory for query results. 4. Increase the amount of free space in the vr.temp.location directory to at least 1 GB. 5. Restart WebSphere Application Server. |
