Tip of the Day: Automating the Directory for SCRATCH Files

Supported Products: R:BASE 7.x, V-8 "Turbo" and Oterro 3.1

Did you know that you can automate the default directory for the
R:BASE/OTERRO Scratch files without knowing the user's right to
exact folder?

The latest builds of R:BASE 7.1 for Windows (Build: 7.1.81.30720),
R:BASE 7.5 for Windows (Build: 7.5.11.30720), R:BASE V-8 "Turbo"
(Build: 8.0.9.30720) and Oterro 3.1, include the enhancement to
simply type "TMP" for SCRATCH option in RBEngine.CFG, RBEngine75.CFG,
RBEngine8.CFG and OTERRO.CFG files.

Updating the SCRATCH setting to TMP in the appropriate configuration
files, R:BASE/OTERRO will use the user's TMP environment settings
for SCRATCH files on startup.

Use any text editor or R:BASE Editor 7.5 to edit the configuration
file to read SCRATCH settings as follows:

SCRATCH  TMP

This will help eliminate all issues related to the access rights,
disk space and so on, when running R:BASE/OTERRO on enterprise
servers.

Configuration Files:

. RBEngine.CFG (R:BASE 7.1 for Windows)
. RBEngine75.CFG (R:BASE 7.5 for Windows)
. RBEngine8.CFG (R:BASE V-8 "Turbo" for Windows)
. Oterro.CFG (Oterro 3.1 for Windows)
. Oterro35.CFG (Oterro 3.5 for Windows)
. Oterro8.CFG (Oterro 8.0 for R:BASE V-8 "Turbo" Database)
