Temp Folder When Executing Clover Graph

CloverDX Platform
1

Hello -

I am connecting Clover to sFTP for data in and data out. When I execute the graph, does clover create anything temp on my hard drive? I didn’t see anything under the workspace folder created when installing Clover. Reason I ask is that we cannot store any data on our hard drive. Though connected to SFTP, I wanted to make sure that there are not any temp files created on my hard drive.

Thanks,
Perri

Hi Perri,

It is difficult to say whether your graph are writting data on your hard drive without seeing the graph. In most cases, writers do not store any local temp files (e.g. SpreadsheetDataWriter in streaming mode uses temp files). However, data can be written using a different element (e.g. buffered edges, phase connection edges etc.).

If running transformation graph from within CloverETL Designer then if any temp files is created, it is created in directory defined in java.io.tmpdir Java property. Usually derived from system’s TMP/TEMP environment variable.

While executing graph on CloverETL Server, temp files are managed by temp space manager- see its documentation.

In both cases the directory is configurable.
