Configuring the temporary storage location used by the agents

By default, project files are stored in the temporary folder for the username who is running the IBM® DevOps Test Integrations and APIs Agent (Test Integrations and APIs Agent). In a few scenarios, however, the temporary folders might get cleaned up by automated processes, for example, when a stub stops running. To avoid losing data, you can change the default setting.

Configure the temporary storage location used by the Test Integrations and APIs Agent as follows:
  1. Open the Agent.config file, which is in the following directory:
    • For Windows. product-installation-directory\config
    • For Linux. product-installation-directory/config
  2. In the <server> section, uncomment the temporaryFiles element and edit the dir attribute to point to a suitable location.
    For example:
    • For Windows. <temporaryFiles ="C:\agentTemp" />
    • For Linux. <temporaryFiles ="/opt/agentTemp" />
  3. Save and close the file.
  4. Start the agent:
