How to migrate /tmp/ directory in 5.9.1 and later

For new installations of 5.9.1, we've moved the location of temporary files in Alpine to $CHORUS_DATA/tmp/. This creates a more stable location to expand Alpine's JAR files when it starts.

However, upgrading from a previous version of Alpine to 5.9.1 requires one small change.

Navigate to $CHORUS_HOME/shared/ALPINE_DATA_REPOSITORY/configuration/deploy.properties file and add this line:

alpine.java.io.tmpdir=$CHORUS_DATA/tmp

Save the file and restart Spotfire Data Science for the change to take effect.
