Optim uses a temporary work directory to store internal
work files and trace files. For example, Optim uses the temporary
work directory to prepare the target file during load operations.
The location of the temporary work directory affects the performance
of operations that use the temporary work directory.
For faster completion of tasks where Optim uses the temporary
work directory, consider taking the following steps:
- Set the temporary work directory to be on a different physical
volume or SAN volume from the data directory. This allows Optim to
switch between the temporary work directory and the data directory
with minimal latency.
- Set the temporary work directory to be on a fast physical volume
or SAN volume.
The data directory and temporary work directory are specified
within Personal Options.
