Visual Lansa application default temp folder

Post by pkoopmanpk »

Lansa decided to create their own temp location, which annoys our security to no end.

Is there an easy way to return the default location back to the %temp% folder?

Is simply putting TPTH=%TEMP% in the .STR file enough?

Hi Peter,

In the LANSA technical newsletter August 2020 I wrote an article about this:

To use the same behavior as before:
TEMP location (2).PNG
TEMP location (2).PNG (108.96 KiB) Viewed 27458 times
So putting TPTH=%TEMP% in the .STR file is enough indeed... ;)

Hi Rene,

I knew it was something simple. But at that moment I just couldn't recall what the answer was. :D

Thank you for confirming the answer to myself.
