Make a new directory

Make a new directory to keep track of the running ADF processes. This directory must be located in a file system that is shared between all nodes on which you want to run ADF with a floating license.

Thus, if $ADFHOME is shared and you want (for example) to use the name FloatADF to count the processes:

    mkdir $ADFHOME/FloatADF
    chmod 1777 $ADFHOME/FloatADF

In this example, we have given all users read, write and execute permissions to this directory. If you wish to restrict this for security reasons, you may do so as long as all ADF users will have read, write and execute permission for this directory.
