Summary

Dear Experts,

For current project, I've to closely look at the cached data while executing a report in BIP 11g.

I've gone through the documentations and found out that it is store at {bip_deployment_directory}/xdo/tmp

But I'm unable to find the default location of it.

Can anyone let me know default path for: {bip_deployment_directory} in BIP 11g (11.1.1.7.0) ??

Thanking you,

Vinit

Oracle BI Publisher temp directory set in Publisher's web.xml which is in

MWHOME\user_projects\domains\bifoundation_domain\servers\bi_server1\tmp\_WL_user\bipublisher_11.1.1\to5gma\war\WEB-INF\web.xml

<init-param>

<!-- This is the system temp dir for proceessing of temporary files. This

can be any directory on your local file system.

-->

<param-name>system-tmp-dir</param-name>

<param-value>C:/Temp/OBIEE/Publisher</param-value>

</init-param>

^ check your file for your own location ...

Then perhaps this isn't the location you are looking for ... let me see if there is another location.

I'll fire up my VM (linux) and run some BIPublisher stuff and see where it is writing tmp files to.

Thank you Thomas for your response.

OBIEE installation is carried out in a Unix system but when I checked web.xml from the location you've specified, I saw the following:

<init-param>

<!-- This is the system temp dir for proceessing of temporary files. This

can be any directory on your local file system.

-->

<param-name>system-tmp-dir</param-name>

<param-value>C:/Windows/Temp</param-value>

</init-param>

I am unable to understand why Windows folder path is set in Unix system.

This was never updated before. A plain enterprise installation is carried out with default settings/preferences.

Thanking you,
