But try to get a Volume dedicated to tempfiles, so you minimize contention over resources (whether the Volume is comprised of multiple LUN's -- Logical Unit Numbers -- should be irrelevant). In a SAN environment, you rarely have to worry about network speed.

In config.fpw at the moment:

TMPFILES=SYS(2023)

Ignoring the performance issue for the moment, will that work for initial testing with several users?

Now if we tell them to get a drive that is not used for anything else, is this a mapped drive or a separate hard disk?

Do you then have:

TMPFILES=T:\

or do you create a folder for each user? If yes, what do you have for TMPFILES.

There are 38 users.
