Directories in temp directory
Pega creates several directories and files in temp directory. Some of these directories are explained in the help;
https://community.pega.com/sites/default/files/help_v74/procomhelpmain.htm
However, I don't find explanation of the following directories. What are the purpose of these directories?
- RuleMgmt
- Tracer
- _temp
- extractedFiles
- extractedFilesVFS
- keytruststorefiles

Hello,
RuleMgmt -> This folder is used during import and export to extract archives and to build archives respectively. Ensure that there are no imports or exports happening on the node at the time of cleaning up the contents of this folder.
Tracer -> By default the Tracer XML file will be stored in this folder. The XML files will be only available till the tracer is running from the PRPC and on closing the tracer window the XML file will be removed from this folder.
_temp -> no idea about this folder
extractedFiles and extractedFilesVFS - not seen in the Pega temp folder in Pega 7.4 instance.

keytruststorefiles -> seems like it stores the default trust store and key store of Pega as per the folder content.
Hope this might help you.

I have additional questions. Are there any other directories and files will be created? What's the purpose of these directories and files? I noticed that the following directories will be created under certain conditions are met.
- ImportLogs
- IntegrationAccelReports
- PassivationData
- UPDATEMANAGER
(Probably the PassivationData is created when passivation occurred, but what about the others?)

Hello,
- ImportLogs - generally while merging the code from source environment to target environment the logs specific to the import process might be stored into this folder.
- IntegrationAccelReports - not sure about the content that will be stored in this folder, but the content will be filled into this folder from Connector metadata wizard which created this directory.
- UPDATEMANAGER - this folder is being used by the Update Manager i.e. https://community1.pega.com/prpc-update-manager
Hope this information might help you.

One use which I did find is mentioned below. Not sure if there are other scenarios where it is used
_temp/_bundle directory? - this directory is used as a place holder for files during bundle extraction, so you might not see any file

HI,
extractedFile: When you import any(external) jar the extracted jar ends up in this folder. This is also used while running BIX from command line as well
