SpectrumInsideView no longer works after removing access to /tmp

Issue/Introduction

The SpectrumInsideView utilizes the /tmp folder for processing data.  If /tmp is restricted, the InsideView process may not run.

There are no errors in the logs, however if SpectrumInsideView is run directly in the foreground the following error is seen

cd $SPECROOT/insideview/
./SpectrumInsideView: error while loading shared libraries: libz.so.1: failed to map segment from shared object

Environment

NetOps 23.3, 24.3, 25.4

Cause

noexec Restrictions are placed on the /tmp folder

Resolution

Broadcom is working on a solution to have this updated.  In the meantime, please open a case with Broadcom Support to discuss a possible workaround.
