WORKPATH= Parameter File Option

Specifies the path for work files created by applications.

Valid in: spdsserv.parm parameter file

Syntax

WORKPATH= location | (location-1 location-2 ...);

Required Arguments

location

specifies the location of an existing directory for work files that are created by applications. Enclose the location in single or double quotation marks when the location contains spaces.

Tip
When SPD Server is installed on a cluster with multiple nodes running SPD Server, you can use the keyword @HOSTNAME@ to substitute the short host name in a directory path. Here is an example:
workpath=/work/@HOSTNAME@;
In a multi-node installation, it is advisable that each server has its own WORKPATH. Use of the @HOSTNAME@ substitution allows each server to use the same spdsserv.parm parameter file with per-host WORKPATH paths.

(location-1 location-2...)

specifies a list of existing directories that can be accessed in parallel for work files created by applications. Enclose a location in single or double quotation marks when the location contains spaces.
