Changing the temporary files on Linux

You can specify a directory for your temporary files of Linux Web Reports by setting up a parameter in the Web Reports configuration file.

On Linux
To specify a directory for your temporary files on Linux, perform the following steps:
  1. Stop the Web Reports component.
  2. Open the following configuration file: /var/opt/BESWebReportsServer/beswebreports.config
  3. Add the parameter named TemporaryDirPath in the [Software\BigFix\Enterprise Server\BESReports] section.
  4. Specify the directory for your temporary files of Linux Web Reports.

If the setting is not configured, Web Reports will now use the default temporary directory /var/opt/BESWebReportsServer/BESReportsData/Temp.
