Fetch Files<br />
Sets the location of the temporary files created by the dispatcher and processors.<br />
The default (setting of 0) places temporary files on your Web server. If set to 1, temporary files are<br />
placed on the PowerPlay dispatcher computer. You can enable or disable Fetch Files in PowerPlay<br />
Enterprise - Server Administration or in the Cognos Configuration Manager.<br />
In some customer deployments, it is important for security reasons to ensure that these temporary<br />
files are located not on the gateway, but behind a firewall where a dispatcher can access them. In<br />
this case, no temp files persist with the gateway.<br />
This topic is covered in more depth in "Managing Temporary Files" (p. 109)<br />
