KB32659: What is the default location to save temporary files when exporting to Excel in MicroStrategy Developer 9.x and newer?


Stefan Zepeda

Salesforce Solutions Architect • Strategy


This technical note describes the default location to save temporary files when exporting to Excel in MicroStrategy Developer 9.x and newer

When users export an Excel document in Strategy Developer 9.x and higher, the export engine first creates a temporary file and then saves it to the destination specified in the export option:

Temporary files are created under the system temp folder on the machine where Excel documents are exported in Strategy Developer. To find the exact location of the temp folder:

  • Right mouse click on "My Computer" and select "Properties"
  • Go to "Advanced" tab and click on "Environment Variables"
  • Under "User variables for ", "TMP" variable shows the temp folder used by Strategy export engine.

The user can modify the default location of the TMP variable. However, other third party applications may also use this variable. It is the user's responsibility, if any problems occur outside Strategy's products after the user changes the TMP variable.
