How to move xfer.dat and xferb.dat files to another folder/partition

Problem

Gateway 6.11.4 and above
OS: Generic



-- If the Gateway mailbox is getting to large it may happen there is no more space on the current partition.
-- As a quick workaround to this situation, until a more permanent solution is implemented, would be to move the mailbox (the xfer.dat and xferb.dat files) on another partition where there is enough space.


Resolution

-- It is possible to move the entire data folder on another drive or folder. However it is not possible to move only the xfer.dat and xferb.dat files.




-- To move the data directory:



1. Stop GW and verify that all the GW process are stopped.
2. Move all the contents of run_time/data folder in d:\data (for example)
3. Modify the run_time/etc/profile.bat file:



Look for the line:



set p_database=%p_runtime_data%\data



and change with:



set p_database=d:\data



4. Restart GW and verify all the objects are still in place.
