LO53660: FILE UPLOAD BY XPAGE USES VERY LARGE TEMPORARY AREA.

APAR status

• Closed as Permanent restriction.

Error description

• File upload by xpage uses very large temporary area.
  
  If you upload the file of 50MB , sum of temporary files are
  about 250MB over.
  
  Temporary files are here.
  
  1. upload_xxxxxxxx.tmp (xxxxxxxx is numerical value of eight
  digits)
  This is created in /tmp/notesxxxxxx/xspupload directory.
  This is renamed to _xspxxxtmp.
  
  2. _xspxxxtmp (xxx is numerical value of three digits)
  This is created in /tmp/notesxxxxxx/xspupload directory.
  
  3. the file of original file name..
  /tmp/notesxxxxxx/xsppers/1/yyyyyyyyyy/DominoDoc-x-Body
  directory.
  
  4. stxxxxxx.tmp (xxxxxx is numerical value of six digits)
  This file is created about 3 times with other file name.
  
  
  Steps to reproduce.
  ---------------------------
  1. Create a discussion database in your server.
  2. Open the database from Web browser.
  3. Create a document.
  4. Enter some characters in subject field and body field.
  5. Attach a file (for example: very large NTF or NSF file)
  6. Save the document.
  
  If you use File monitor utility, you can confirm that the files
  of 1. 2. 3. 4. are created at the same time temporarily. <-- Bug
  ---------------------------
  
  This behavior is very inefficient.
  When the size of temporary directory is small in your
  environment , file uploading fails and the garbage file remains
  in temporary directory.
