SQL Server SSRS - RSTempFiles

  • Hi

    After installing the SQL 2014 SSRS, can we change the location temp file folder to different drive? If possible, can you please provide the steps? Or just updating the web.config will suffice?

    Thanks

    Using SQL Server Management studio it can be changed:

    Go to Object Explorer, right-click a server and Properties then click on the Database settings page.

    Database default locations, view the current default locations for new data files and new log files. Here you can change the path by giving path name.

    That's totally incorrect.

    The RSTemp directory has nothing to do with setting the default location of data and log files in SQL Server.

    You'd change it in the RSReportServer.config file, actually add it as I believe it's blank by default.

    You would add the entry to the services section, along the lines of:

    <FileShareStorageLocation>

    <Path>X:\NewPathTo\RSTempFiles</Path>

    </FileShareStorageLocation>

    Check this article for information on the config file - it has an example of adding this as well:

  • Thank you and it seems to be the solution. However, for now we have increased the disk capacity and will look into it later when we run into issues again.
