Set up the common staging directory for translator input and output files

The RMI mode supports translations within a firewall and requires a common staging directory. In this mode, the Dispatcher Server clients can directly communicate with the scheduler and perform the translations without a web server and file server. The RMI mode does not require file transfers from the Dispatcher Server client locations and module locations. The following are the prerequisites for setting up the staging directory: The clients and Dispatcher Server should point to the common staging directory and both should have read and write permissions to that directory. This avoids the need for file transfers from the client and module locations. The client writes the translator input files to the common staging directory, and the module writes the translator result files to the staging directory in the results directory. For example, if d:\StagingDir is the common staging directory for the module machine, then \ModuleMachine\StagingDir on the client machine (can be a different machine) must be the same directory, that is, StagingDir. The client and Dispatcher Server should be installed by the same user to avoid directory access issues as the client and dispatcher modules use the same staging location. In the common staging directory configuration, the dispatcher module must have permissions to create directories and write access to files on the client staging location using the network. This means that when you access the staging location from the module machine, you should be able to access or list (in Linux systems) the directory contents of the staging location. The staging location can be a shared location on the network. The physical location of the machine on which the common staging directory is configured must be in closer proximity to the module machines than the dispatcher server client machines. This helps the translators to access files faster. The translators create temporary files and read the source files from the common staging directory.
