JR45163: SRVC - BPM GENERATES FILES IN TEMPORARY DIRECTORIES THAT ARE NOT CLEANED UP

APAR status

• Closed as fixed if next.

Error description

• BPM uses three temporary directories for storing temp files.
  /tmp
      /opt/ibm/BPM/v7.5/profiles/ProcCtr01/temp/com.ibm.bpm.fds
      /opt/ibm/BPM/v7.5/profiles/ProcCtr01/wstemp
  The WSTEMP folder has some auto-clean up but manual clean up is
  sometimes needed; refer to:
  -

  -

  try/deleting_temporary_files_in_websphere_application_server
  For the OS temporary and BPM temp directory. These are not
  cleaned up from BPM.
  The following files can be found in the directories:
  -application imports (twx, saved as zip)
  -application exports (tw saved as zip)
  -managed asset files - CSS, JAR, png, etc. These gnenerally do
  not have extensions
  -compiled data (jars) from inbound WSDL calls
  BPM should auto-clean up these files after some time. Excessive
  build up will consume large amounts of disk space.
  Raised as concern in PMRs:
  

Local fix

• manually delete these files, recommending files that currently
  do not have a OS file lock AND are older than one (1) day
  

Problem summary

• The problem will be fixed in the future release.
  

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix
