Question: How do I move the SQL Anywhere temporary file for Foxhound to a different physical drive?

Answer:

One method is to set the SATMP environment variable to specify the folder where SQL Anywhere will put all its temporary files:

Control Panel in Windows 7... 

   System 
      - Advanced system settings 
         - Advanced tab 
            - Environment Variables button 
               - System variables 
                  - New... button
                     - New System Variable dialog box
                       Variable name:  SATMP
                       Variable value: F:\data\SQL_Anywhere_temp
In a batch file...

   SET SATMP=F:\data\SQL_Anywhere_temp

Another method is to modify the dbsrv16.exe command line which starts Foxhound to include the -dt F:\data\SQL_Anywhere_temp option; this will only affect the temporary file associated with the Foxhound database:

"%SQLANY16%\%BIN%\dbspawn.exe"^
  -f "%SQLANY16%\%BIN%\dbsrv16.exe"^
  -c 25p^
  -ch 50p^
  -cr-^
  -dt F:\data\SQL_Anywhere_temp^
  -gk all^
  -gn 220^
  -gna 0^
  -n foxhound4^
  -o foxhound4_debug.txt^
  -oe foxhound4_debug_startup.txt^
  -on 1M^
  -sb 0^
  -ufd restart^
  -x tcpip^
  -xd^
  -xs http(port=80;maxsize=0;to=600;kto=600)^
  foxhound4.db^
  -n f
Here's the list of Foxhound command files which contain the dbsrv16.exe command:
$backup_foxhound4.bat
$start_foxhound4_chrome.bat
$start_foxhound4_chrome_debug.bat
$start_foxhound4_default_browser.bat
$start_foxhound4_default_browser_debug.bat
$start_foxhound4_engine.bat
$start_foxhound4_firefox.bat
$start_foxhound4_firefox_debug.bat
$start_foxhound4_ie.bat
$start_foxhound4_ie_debug.bat

By default, those command files are installed here on Windows 7:

   C:\ProgramData\RisingRoad\Foxhound4
