dbconnect 3.X -jtds****.tmp file issue

[splunk24]

we have installed the dbconnect 3.X
and we are using windows auth to connect to sql server

as per yours doc , windows auth is only available in form of jtds only for linux OS

issue is this is generating tmp files in /tmp folder
jtds********.tmp file
which is causing the issue
can you please explain the reason for the same
why it is generated what is the purpose
where we can define the path of this file

yes, in the DBconnect Configuration > Settings > General > JVM Options section you can add
-Djava.io.tmpdir=/app/javatmp to change the temp directory where the are stored. Here you can see I changed it to /app/javatmp.

In my case, the .tmp files were over filling the 2g of my /tmp directory, the default path. When i directed them to a new location with more space, the files clean themselves up after the ingest completes.

we are running into same issue. Has anyone encountered this situation before? Any way to re-direct these files elsewhere?
