Guides and How-Tos > Temporary File Path Configuration

RayVentory Data Hub uses temporary files when processing certain tasks and transformations. For tasks and transformations processed on the server, the location of the files and the threshold when to start the cleanup can be configured in the appsettings.json. The appsettings.json file located in the [InstallDir] (by default C:\Program Files (x86)\RayVentoryDataHub) of RayVentory Data Hub Server. Information on how to configure this settings for tasks and transformations processed on the agent can be found in the RayVentory Data Hub Installation Guide.

Parameter	Required	Description
