CCMS Output Generator temporary files

When CCMS Output Generator extracts the files to transform from TEXTML Server and stores them in a temporary folder.

The temporary folder also contains the output of the transformation job and the transformation logs.

Each job output is stored in the %OutputGenDir%/temp/%ID% folder, where %ID% is a unique job number, such as:
C:\ixiasoft\OutputGenerators\Prod\temp\Dita2Pdf.mtest.112.1418315370904

The directory contains the following files and directories:
