Hi all,

 

I was looking at this arcticle:

 

https://knowledge.safe.com/articles/176/fme-temp-environment-variable.html

 

I have created FME_TEMP system variable to point to an drive with a lot of space (D drive)

 

I have some big WBs which create a lot of temp files, but these still go into c:\\user\\...\\temp folder and sometimes space on C drive will run out and WB will fail.

 

What is the problem here and how can I tell FME desktop to write temp files to D drive? Do I need to create the FME_TEMP per user and not per system? Something else?

Did you try rebooting the PC after setting FME_TEMP?

Also make sure that FME_TEMP points to an existing folder.

Another option would be running FME using a batch file.

In the top of the batch file, I tend to have these lines:

SET TEMP=d:\\temp

SET FME_TEMP=d:\\temp

This will set the TEMP location for the current session (to d:\\temp) only.

Hope this helps.
