CMOD 9.5 - .tmp files

[doliver1]

Hello, We are running CMOD 9.5 on z/OS 2.1 operating systems.

Question - If I create new zFS .tmp files with different names and mount points would that cause any issues? Of course I would change the path in the ars.cfg file,  BPXPRMx0, and TEMPPATH= in arsyspin.
The reason for the change is to remove the version and release that is currently in all of our .tmp files.

Thanks in advance.

That shouldn't cause any issues.  We've moved our temp locations around without any issues, other than forgetting to set the permission bits.

I have changed /tmp as well without incident.

I also use TFS for temp space whenever possible...for example in ARSYSPIN:

...
ARSY0103I < temppath=/ars/codwekcache     
...

Points to here in BPXPRMxx:

MOUNT FILESYSTEM('/CWC')      /* TFS for /tmp directory   */
      MOUNTPOINT('/ars/codwekcache')                       
      TYPE(TFS) MODE(RDWR)                                 
      PARM('-s 90')
