FineBuild can set the location of the Windows \Temp folder so that it is more accessible when needed for troubleshooting.
The same \Temp folder will be used for all user temporary files, so there is a single place to look for and manage these files.
Processing of System Temp Folder relates to Process Id 1GE in the FineBuild1Preparation script.
This processing is controlled by the following parameter:
| SQL Version | Parameter | FULL Build | WORKSTATION Build | CLIENT Build |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SQL2019 | /SetupTempWin: | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| SQL2017 | /SetupTempWin: | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| SQL2016 | /SetupTempWin: | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| SQL2014 | /SetupTempWin: | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| SQL2012 | /SetupTempWin: | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| SQL2008R2 | /SetupTempWin: | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| SQL2008 | /SetupTempWin: | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| SQL2005 | /SetupTempWin: | Yes | Yes | Yes |
FineBuild uses the following parameter to help setup the System Temp folder:
| Parameter | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| /DrvTempWin: | C | Drive location for System Temp folder |
The following steps show what you would have to do to setup System Temp Folder manually. FineBuild does all of this work for you automatically.
-
Ensure the system Temp folder is placed on the /DrvTemp: drive (eg /DrvTemp:T)
Create the folder T:\Temp if it does not already exist
-
Check if the environment variables have been set to use T:\Temp
If they are not pointing to T:\Temp then change them using the process below. All accounts that are associated with SQL Server batch jobs should be set to use the system Temp folder, as the SQL Server service account expects to find certain files in this location
-
Right-click on the Computer icon and select Properties
Click on the Advanced tab then click on the Environment Variables button. Check the User variables section
If TEMP and TMP are not pointing to T:\Temp, select each variable in turn and click on Edit. Change the value of the variable to T:\Temp as shown. Click OK to save the new settings
-
Scroll down in the System variables section
If TEMP and TMP are not pointing to T:\Temp, select each variable in turn and click on Edit. Change the value of the variable to T:\Temp as shown. Click OK to save the new settings.
-
The final setup for these variables is shown below
