The DCM generate operation writes temporary and
transfer package files to the generate directory. The generate operation
creates a temporary export directory in the generate_directory of
the source database. The transfer set objects are temporarily stored
in a compressed tar file in this export directory.
To
perform a successful generate operation, the source file system must
have enough disk space for the export directory and the compressed
tar file.
The
generate operation also writes the preview of the transfer package
and information files to the generate_directory.
However, these files are too small to consider when estimating disk
space requirements.
