When we upload a folder for manual deposit a temporary copy of the uploaded file is created by Tomcat (only when using the manual file upload. ie, doesn't happen when using Applet).
To change the directory where the temporary file is saved:

Edit the /exlibris/dps/d4_1/system.dir/thirdparty/tomcat/conf/server.xml file on each deposit UI server:

Change <Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true"autoDeploy="false" deployOnStartup="true"> to

Where "PATH" is the new directory.

For example:

On server 1:
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true"autoDeploy="false" deployOnStartup="true" workDir="/operational_shared/tomcat_temp_files/rosetta1/">

On server 2:
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps" unpackWARs="true"autoDeploy="false" deployOnStartup="true" workDir="/operational_shared/tomcat_temp_files/rosetta2/">

As you can see in the example, different servers can have different files.

In order for the changes to take effect please restart Rosetta.
