Specifying an alternative temporary directory for installation
You can change the temporary directory where Installation Manager places files during installation.
Typically during installation, Installation
Manager uses
the default system /tmp directory to extract the
files required for installation. If the default temporary directory
is not accessible, you can specify an alternative temporary working
directory to perform installation.
Note: If you do not intend to install Jazz™ for Service
Management to
the default installation directory or use the default temporary directory,
you must modify the Prerequisite Scanner configuration
files to check whether these non-default directories have the required
available disk space. See Editing default configuration files for non-default installation locations.
To install Jazz for Service Management by using an alternative temporary directory, set the IBM_JAVA_OPTIONS environment variable.
- On Windows systems:
C:\set IBM_JAVA_OPTIONS=-Djava.io.tmpdir=C:\jazzsmtemp
C:\echo %IBM_JAVA_OPTIONS% -Djava.io.tmpdir=C:\jazzsmtemp
After setting the temporary directory, browse to the JazzSM_Image_Home/ directory, and run launchpad or launchpad64 for 64-bit Windows computers.
- On Linux systems:
[~]$ IBM_JAVA_OPTIONS=-Djava.io.tmpdir=/home/jazzsmtemp
Ensure that the following directories have the required permissions:[~]$ export IBM_JAVA_OPTIONS
/home/jazzsmtemp rwxr-xr-x
/tmp rwxr-xr-x
The /tmp directory is used by DB2® as temporary location to execute database queries.
After setting the temporary directory, open the JazzSM_Image_Home/ directory and run ./launchpad.sh.
The Installation Manager uses the jazzsmtemp directory for installation.
