Temporary directories used during index creation

This box lists the directories to be used to store the temporary files that are used when indexes are created. Use the Add push button to add a name to this box. You can also select a name to be changed, removed, or rearranged.

If you do not specify directories, the files are created in the sqllib/tmp directory of the DB2INSTANCE owner. If you specify more than one directory, each directory should be on a different file system, and each file system should be on a different disk, to optimize performance.

Make sure that there is enough space on these directories to hold all index keys for the data being loaded.
