Hi all
I have LS on my "C" drive but as I run muliple graphs every day I need to delete my Temp files once a day or I run out of memory. I have got myself an external drive and want to move LS onto it so the Temp files go to that drive and not my "C" drive. Any hints would be great
Hello,
Here are two alternative solutions to your problem:
1) If you would like to move the temporary file location to a another drive:
- locate the file [your LD install]/BRAIN 4.*/setBrainEnv.bat, and open it with a text editor (mine is C:\Programs\Lavastorm\BRAIN 4.1\setBrainEnv.bat)
- locate the directory on the new drive that you wish to use, or create one if it does not exist
- replace any references to your current scratch file directory with the new directory (e.g. change C:\BRAINSCRATCH to D:\TEMP\BRAINSCRATCH)
- restart the server using the server console
- all of the temporary files, including interim data files, logs, and debug files, will now be maintained within that directory.
2) Use a different setting for temporary file deletion mode
- within the LD client, choose Tools->Preferences from the main menu and navigate to the Execution tab within the resulting dialog.
- you are most likely currently using the "Normal" value for Delete Temp Files Mode, which will only delete the interim data files as they are obviated by node status clearing or re-execution. If you employ the "Aggressive" setting when you run graphs, the interim data files are only retained so long as they are necessary to execute each node as the graph is executed. In other words, if you executed a graph which consisted of 3 sequenced nodes, the temporary data associated with node 1 would be deleted as soon as node 2 completed, given that node 3 has no need for the node 1 output data. Using this setting, however, you will lose the ability to view data associated with completed nodes, since their underlying data have been deleted. For this reason, this mode is only recommended when ad-hoc graph creation is completed and a simple refresh of output data is required.
Hope this helps.
