IBM SPSS Modeler Overview
E Edit options.cfg, located in the /config directory of your SPSS Modeler in stallation directory. Edit
the temp_dire
ctory parameter in this file to read:
temp_directory, "C:/spss/servertemp"
.
E After doing this, you must restart the SPSS Modeler Server service. You can do this by clicking
the Services tab on your Windows Control Panel. Just stop the service and then start it to activate
the changes you made. Restarting the machine will also restart the service.
All temp files will now be written to this new directory.
Note: The most common error when you are attempting to do this is to use the wrong type of
slashes. Because of SPSS Mode ler’s UNIX history, forward slashes are used.
