PMDF-DIRSYNC stores intermediate files, such as those files processed by a DIRBOT but awaiting the arrival of additional directory snapshots for final processing, cookie files, and a variety of temporary files, in the PMDF-DIRSYNC work directory. The PMDF-DIRSYNC work directory is located via the PMDF_DIRSYNC logical name (OpenVMS) or PMDF tailor file option (UNIX) or Registry entry (NT), and hence is normally PMDF_DIRSYNC: (OpenVMS) or /pmdf/dirsync (unix) or C:\pmdf\dirsync\ (NT).
