SortDirectory

String (disk-path)

Operating system temporary file location

Purpose

The SortDirectory parameter specifies the location of temporary sort files, which enables you to specify the location for each node. For example, you can move the files used in a sort process from the default temporary directory if the print output of a report would consume all of the local disk resulting in subsequent reports that require sorting to fail because there is insufficient disk space.

If the value is <default> or the SortDirectory parameter does not exist, the sort process uses the operating system temporary file location.

If the SortDirectory parameter exists but specifies an invalid directory, an exception is raised.

Parameter is read when …

Each sort file is extracted; that is, when the next sort file is opened.

Hint

If you specify a relative directory name, the directory is assumed to be relative to the JADE HOME directory. For example, if your installation directory is Jade\bin (that is, your JADE HOME directory is Jade) and you specify SortDirectory=SortLogs, the full directory path is Jade\SortLogs.
