If this is a java application, you can pass it the following argument to
use something other than /tmp for temporary files.

-Djava.io.tmpdir=<some other directory>

For example:

-Djava.io.tmpdir=/var/tmp

Which application is it that is giving you problems?

Well, as far as AIX is concerned, /tmp is just a filesystem. Some
application do check the environment for variables such as $TMP,
$TMPDIR,
etc... but it is up to the application - check the apps manual, or
contact
your vendor.
