## 8.3. EKM and RSM Job Directories

The following directory settings in EKM and RSM are critical to the seamless integration of EKM and RSM:

EKM Job Data Directory

  The directory where EKM will stage the data files for batch jobs submitted to RSM, if users do not choose to specify a working directory during job setup. This directory must be accessible to the cluster submit host (where the RSM launcher service is running). The job data files are created under this directory by the data management process running on the submit host.

  The EKM job data directory is specified during installation, and is captured in the `jobSourceRootPath` setting in the ekm.xml file. See Specifying Remote Process Policies (<remoteProcess>).

  This directory has some essential requirements and considerations. Refer to Access and Permission Requirements of the Job Data Directory.

RSM Cluster Configuration Shared Cluster Directory (when applicable)

  A directory used to share files within the cluster.

Important: These two directories must be the same location when using EKM with RSM. When RSM is being used with a cluster, network shares will be used to accomplish this. There is no requirement that the physical location of the directory is on one of the machines running EKM or RSM. It just needs to be accessible.
