Is there a VARIABLE to use tempspace other then /tmp

[Frank de Vries]

I need to install Oracle9i.
It requires more /tmp free than I can give
at the moment.

Is there a variable i can use to
use another path of filesytstem like
/backup/tmp.

Would the Oracle universal Installer acknowledge this parameter and think that
tempspace will be /backup/tmp instead of
the default /tmp

I followed your link and used the
variable TEMP, I tried TMPDIR and TEMPDIR as well, but to no avail I am afraid.

see ouput from telnet screen:

[oratst@orasrv2:]/tstnew/backup/9207/Disk1<>>> export TMPDIR=/tstnew/backup/tmp
[oratst@orasrv2:]/tstnew/backup/9207/Disk1<>>> print $TEMP
/tstnew/backup/tmp
[oratst@orasrv2:]/tstnew/backup/9207/Disk1<>>> export TEMPDIR=/tstnew/backukp/tmp
[oratst@orasrv2:]/tstnew/backup/9207/Disk1<>>>
[oratst@orasrv2:]/tstnew/backup/9207/Disk1<>>> print $TMPDIR
/tstnew/backup/tmp
[oratst@orasrv2:]/tstnew/backup/9207/Disk1<>>> print $TEMPDIR
/tstnew/backukp/tmp
[oratst@orasrv2:]/tstnew/backup/9207/Disk1<>>>
[oratst@orasrv2:]/tstnew/backup/9207/Disk1<>>>
[oratst@orasrv2:]/tstnew/backup/9207/Disk1<>>> ./runInstaller

Hi,

Try setting TMP as well as TMPDIR variables to the new tmp path
TMP=/tstnew/backup/tmp
TMPDIR=/tstnew/backup/tmpexport TMP TMPDIR

and then try installing.

Hi,

Sorry the previous post was missing an enter before the xport command.

Try setting TMP as well as TMPDIR variables to the new tmp path
TMP=/tstnew/backup/tmp
TMPDIR=/tstnew/backup/tmp
export TMP TMPDIR

and then try installing.

Krank,
include your definitions in the .profile file for the user used for the installation.
Log out and then log back on.
env | grep -i tmp should show you the new locations

If all else fails you can create a link to your new location with ln

see man ln

export TMP=/other/tmpdir
