Temp directories for Citrix domains

The %TEMP% directory must not change for domain users of the same Rational® Publishing Engine session.

When the Launcher or Document Studio applications are started from a shared shortcut, the Citrix virtualization framework automatically configures the applications to use a %TEMP% folder that is unique from the data source %TEMP% directory. This unique path is required to prevent collisions with paths configured by other concurrent users. Example: C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp\44

However, the Citrix environment often uses a default %TEMP% location, example: C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp, which does not match the uniquely indexed location where the data source stores run time information needed for generating documents and configuring data sources.

Avoid the issue with the Citrix environment by using a default %TEMP% location, such as C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\Temp, by enforcing a unique, user-specific %TEMP% directory for a single session in a Citrix domain.
