Disk Space Issues

Low Disk Space on C: (system) Drive

When space is low on the C: (system) drive, errors may occur in Keystone, backups may fail, etc. The reason for this is that both InterBase and Keystone normally store temporary files on the C: (system) drive. When backing up the Keystone database, there must be enough space to create a temporary copy of the database. If the Keystone database is 1GB in size but there is only 500MB free space on the C: drive, the backup will fail.

Moving InterBase temporary files to another drive

1. Create a folder called IBTemp on another drive (for example, D:).

2. Open the file C:\Program Files\Borland\Interbase\IBConfig in Notepad.

WARNING: Be very careful when editing this file that existing settings are not changed!!

3. Add the following line, either at the very top of the file, or at the end of the current GivenHansco modifications:

TMP_DIRECTORY 10000000000 "D:\IBTemp" 

NOTE: This change will not take effect until InterBase is restarted.

Moving Keystone temporary files to another drive

1. Open the Windows Control Panel and select System.

2. Click the Advanced tab.

3. Click the Environment Variables button.

4. Create a new system variable (NOT a user variable) as follows:

Variable name: CCTEMP
Variable value: D:\IBTemp

NOTE: This change will not take effect until the Keystone application server is restarted.
