Big map directory and performance question

[clk430]

Mercator 6.7 - Win2K OS

Our default map directory that contains all the .msl's and .mmc's has a lot of junk in it. Some traces, streammaxmemlimit writes there, temp files get written there etc.

Does Mercator/DataStage's performance get effected when the map directory is very large in a windows envoronment? I'm asking from the perspective of maps/files taking longer to open/access/finish.

No, it is the watch directory that is important. All executable maps are loaeded into memory on start up, and each run map is loaded after the first call, unlees you have turned the caching off.
Just make sure the directory is local to the server and you have the file space.
