Platform: Windows 10 Enterprise x64
Version iACS : 1.1.8.6
Java: JDK 15.0

Use Case:

Case 1:

Case 2:
When using iACS to perform STRPCCMD with executing the DFTX file transfer request, the exception prompted no access for Java Home Directory.

Temp solution:
C:\Users\Public\IBM\ClientSolutions\Start_Programs\Windows_x86-64\acslaunch_win-64.exe -Djava.io.tmpdir=C:\Users\Public\IBM\ClientSolutions\Windows_Application

adding the extra parameter "-Djava.io.tmpdir=" after the iACS launch program with specific path.

If this value able to define into the IACS its control file "AcsConfig.properties" to save a lot of efforts.

    Unfortunately, the previous post was incorrect. Not all properties added to AcsConfig.properties will be updated. Since AcsConfig.properties is processed after the JVM starts, if we added support for allowing java.io.tmpdir to be updated by setting it in AcsConfig.properties, it may not actually help your scenario. Please provide the scenarios you are having issues with and the names of temporary files you see being put in your specified java.io.tmpdir.

    Any java property that can be specified on the command line using the -D parameter can also be specified in AcsConfig.properties without the -D. Try adding java.io.tmpdir= to AcsConfig.properties. Does this satisfy the request?
