About
A spooler is a storage area where EnginFrame creates working directories for its services. A spooler provides a dedicated zone in the file system used for hosting files provided by users (e.g., input files uploaded using a Web browser) or generated by the services (e.g., output or temporary files). Every new service execution creates a new spooler (depending on spooler's TTL), which has appropriate permissions to allow the service script to read and to write to the required directory.
