expanding ear fails on nodeagent

[braeunings]

Hello,

when I deploy an Application on the DeploymentManager, everything works fine! Now I do a sync between Nodeagent and DMGR to deliver the Config and EAR to the Nodeagent. Nodeagent gets the EAR and starts expanding the EAR-File. Then I get the following message:

ADMA7008E: Unexpected exception in expandEar. The ear file cells/wsi.tap/applications/KasseEnterpriseApp.ear/KasseEnterpriseApp.ear will not be extracted in following paths [/as706a/soft/websphere-5.1-base/installedApps/wsi.tap/KasseEnterpriseApp.ear]. Exception: java.io.IOException: There is not enough space in the file system.

On filesystem /as706a/ there is enough space but I recognized, that in filesystem /tmp there is only 4 MB left. When I clean /tmp the deployment works fine. It seems that first the EAR-File is expanded in this tmp-dir before writing it to the real destination! I'm working with AIX Websphere 5.1.0.5. Now my question: Is it possible expanding the EAR-File temporarily to another Filespace because our Administrators won't give us more space in the /tmp-filespace (overall only 68MB).

Thanks in advance
