Issue/Introduction

While downloading maintenance in CA CSM with Get Latest Maintenance multiple /.../mpm/tmproot scratch pad directories are being created  while CA CSM keeps trying to allocate temporary file system hlq.t1 to be mounted to these directories.
zipped output shows:
Successfully created PAS temporary download directory /.../mpm/tmproot/MSM.2587088534373150582.scratchpad 

This matches what the T7907 output shows: 
/.../mpm/tmproot/MSM.2587088534373150582.scratchpad. 

For each of the PTF there is this FATAL.txt with: 
A serious error during creation of a temporary directory of thread ID=0 
The most common reason is a SPACE problem. Please check the available space. 
Caused by: java.io.IOException: Could not create temporary directory /.../mpm/tmproot/MSM.8525103312198620789.scratchpad 
at com.ca.mf20.utils.FileUtils.getTemporaryDirectory(FileUtils.java:147) 

 This occurs for any related download that requires the use of /.../mpm/tmproot/

Environment

Component: MSM

Resolution

Please shutdown down MSMTC and MSMDBSRV leaving MSMMUFS active. Update and run the JCL below. Refer to the MSMMUFs JCL for the hlq value.
