        None

      Description:
      This variable is new in 6.0.5 and 6.5.3

      If this variable is not set, the operating system temp directory is used.

      SPR# JROU5YUNQQ - Added the Notes.ini variable "NOTES_TEMPDIR" to specify the Notes Temporary directory.

      SPR# LORN6JWKG8 - This fix allows the HTTP process to use a different directory for temp files if the Notes.ini parameter Notes_TempDir is set.

      Important Notes:

      The "NOTES_TEMPDIR" value must reference the full path to the temporary directory. (e.g., (<drive>:\Temp), The value must point to a "temp" directory (e.g., Notes_tempdir=C:\temp; not Notes_tempdir=C:\test)
      Notes also appends its own folder to the end of the path, so it will end up being something like C:\test\temp\NotesFCEE85

      The folder referenced by this parameter must already exist. Notes does not create C:\test\temp if it does not already exist. It does, however, create its own NotesXXXXXX folder in this temp folder if it does indeed exist.

      If the folder does not exist, Notes does not revert to the default temp location, but instead puts the temp files in the Notes\Data directory.

      Supporting Information:
      In Citrix environments it is required that the directory points to a local harddisk of the MultiWin server.
      It might be necessary to create a <username> directory below <drive>:\Temp to read+write protect this to the current user session for security reason. Then this new protected path must be added to the notes.ini within the login script.
