Redefining Windows System Temporary Directories
Following established Windows standards, the Orion installer may use Windows User
and System TEMP and TMP variable directories as temporary scratch spaces for file
expansion and execution. If you do not have the required scratch space available in
the default User or System TEMP and TMP directories, use the following procedure to
redefine your default locations.
Note: Regardless of where you actually install Orion, some common files may be
installed where the operating system of your Server are located.
To redefine default system temporary directories:
1.
Log on to your Server as a user with administrative rights.
2. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
3. Click Advanced, and then click Environment Variables.
4.
Select the variable name representing the directory you want to redefine, click
Edit, and then provide a new path as the Variable value for the selected
temporary directory variable.
Slow Performance on Windows Server 2008
If Orion is installed on Windows Server 2008 or Windows Vista and there are any
devices on your network (between your Server and your database server) that do not
support RFC 1323, "TCP Extensions for High Performance", the TCP window size
auto-tuning feature of Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista may prevent your
Server from successfully connecting with your Orion Platform database. This TCP
auto-tuning feature is intended as a network-sensitive restriction, applied by the
receiver(your Server) on the amount of data it is allowed or able to receive. If any
devices along the network path between your Server and your Orion Platform
database do not support the TCP window scaling detailed in RFC 1323, the allowed
size of the TCP window in packets sent to your Server may not match the TCP window
size reported by packets sent from your Server. This mismatch may lead to failed
connections between your Server and your Orion Platform database. The following
procedure disables this TCP auto-tuning feature, resetting the TCP receive window to
64kB.
