Bug 342699

Comment 1 Thierry Thierry 2011-04-13 10:29:43 EDT

I forgot to mention in my bug report that I rebuilt the source code of Birt 2.6.2 after reverting to

    public void end( ) throws IOException
    {
        writer.end( );
        if ( tempFilePath != null )
        {
            File file = new File( tempFilePath );
            if ( file.exists( ) && file.isFile( ) )
            {
                file.delete( );
            }
        }
    }

After that, temporary files were correctly removed again.

Hi,
    I am new to birt. Can you please explain how can I change change temp directory location? My application generates flat text files, birt generates excel files from these flat files. I have created one environment variable MY_TEMP and gave it's value as 'D:\my_temp'. Now I want birt to use this folder to store all temporary files.

Hi,
you should look around on the net, you will find a lot of documentation and examples :
EngineConfig config = new EngineConfig();
config.setTempDir(MY_TEMP);
