Problem:

• Product Name: BES
• Product Version: 6.5
• Product Component: iastool

When using the iastool to generate a deployable jar, we are receiving an erroneous and undescriptive error/exception message:

 [exec] The " characters around the executable and arguments are
 [exec] not part of the command.
 [exec] Generating deployable module

The cause of the issue is that the "java.io.tmpdir" property is set to: /tmp/cmdtool/

I have tried numerous command-line incantations to no avail.

Resolution:

There are two ways to set the "java.io.tmpdir" for iastool:

1. The iastool picks up its settings from the "iastool.config" file under the same directory as iastool, i.e., <BES Install>/bin. Comment out the default setting in the config file:

"vmprop java.io.tmpdir=$var(installRoot)/tmp/$var(feature)"

and set it to be an absolute dir where you want.

2. The standard JVM options should be taken by iastool, as the following:

.../BES65_64/bin: ./iastool -Djava.io.tmpdir=xxx
