RELATED IDEAS

Update the twsinst script that comes with fixpack 9.4 so that either the temporary directory is not hardcoded as /tmp

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

Please update the twsinst script that comes with the fixpack install so that the TWA_TEMP variable is either an option or points to the /tmp instead of /tmp. Filling the temp file system has an impact on other applications on the server and not just IWS. If this becomes an option, then please make it available to an install performed via the DWC (maybe via a global option).

    An alternative to the would be to use and abide by the -work_dir option for twsinst while installing/patching from the DWC (Dynamic Workload Console). The reason for this is because during patching /tmp gets filled up with backup files created by twsinst and this causes the patch to fail.
