The directory that contains all the “Gel files” of the current Anatella-Graph can be specified inside the “Graph Global Parameter” window. To see this window, click here:
The directory containing all the HD cache files of the current Anatella-Graph is specified here:
you can change the directory containing all the hd cache files of the current anatella-graph by clicking here: 
. there are 3 options:
•use “anatella-specific temp directory”.
this is the default value.
each different user on the server can chose the location of its “temp directory for hd cache file” in the “anatella glogal settings” window: see section 7.1. for more details on this window.
no administrative rights are required to change this value.
by default, the location of the “anatella-specific temp directory” parameter is initialized to be the same location as the location that was stored inside the “%temp%” ms-windows global environmental variable when you ran anatella for the very first time.
•use “global os temp directory”.
use this option when you want anatella to always use the value of the “%temp% environmental variable as the directory containing all the hd cache files.
you need administrative rights to define the value of the “%temp% environmental variable. you should ask to your administrator to select carefully a nice location on your server. you need a location with a fast read/write access (an ssd is great).
actually, the “%temp% environmental variable contains the location of all the temporary files of the current user. it’s always a good idea to set this location to a drive with plenty of space left (…and this is *always* a good idea to make this change even if you are not using anatella). see the section 7.1.1. to know how to change the “%temp%” ms-windows environment variable.
•use this:
some very specific anatella data transformation graphs are using so much disk space that you want a very specific location for the directory containing all the hd cache files, only for these very specific graphs. in such situation, you can manually edit the location of the “working directory for cache files” to set it to a directory within a drive with plenty of space left. for example:
When you change the settings inside the “Graph Global Parameter” window, it only changes the “Temporary Working directory for cache files” for the currently edited graph: i.e. the value of this setting for of all the other graphs (newer of older) stays the same. The section 7.1. explains how to change the value of the “Temporary Working directory for cache files” setting for all the .anatella files inside the server.
