When COLD files are processed, they are compressed and then copied to a temporary storage location. This temporary storage location is set on the Startup tab of the Workstation Options dialog in the OnBase Client module (to open the Workstation Options, click User | Workstation Options).
The Temporary Parse Path should be on the local processing machine. This location must be of sufficient size to hold the largest file that will be processed. However, over time, as more applications are loaded onto the workstation, this space may be reduced.
COLD files are compressed before processing to save disk space. Ensure that the processing workstation has enough space to store the compressed file.
When performing COLD processing, it is considered a best practice to keep at least enough disk space as the largest file being processed in its uncompressed state.
Keep in mind, particularly if the C: drive is used, that other applications may generate temporary files, and that the operating system will generate a memory file that could reduce the total amount of space available. All of these factors should be taken into account.
In general, if the temporary location is on the same drive as the operating system, 500MB of free space should be maintained at all times. If the machine is a database server as well, or running file services, at least 1 GB should be available.
