Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: Using the -D argument to logconv.pl is supposed to use the given directory to create the temporary files. logconv.pl was writing a large amount of data in files in /var/tmp instead of the argument given to -D. Consequence: Could fill /var/tmp. Fix: The Berkeley DB tied perl arrays were causing this behavior. The fix is to get rid of arrays as much as possible, and get rid of all tied arrays. Result: /var/tmp is not in danger of filling up, the directory specified with -D is used, performance is much faster, disk usage is much less.

Description Nathan Kinder 2013-09-30 22:20:43 EDT 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1013163 +++

This bug is created as a clone of upstream ticket:
https://fedorahosted.org/389/ticket/47501

Not sure why, but using logconv.pl -V with DB_File creates temporary DB files in /var/tmp called BDBxxxxx.  These can grow to be very, very large.  They need to go in the -D $dataLocation directory.

hi,
i verified the logconv.pl -D option and the script creates the temp files in the directory following -D option and not in the /var/tmp directory.
the access log file is a customer log file.

the command was as follows
logconv.pl -D /RHEL7/data/DS/6.0/logfile/en/stat /RHEL7/data/DS/6.0/logfile/en/access.20120131-000045

this was tested on the latest build.
