The error message you are getting refers to a .tmp file under a Temp folder in your Spotfire installation. Spotfire creates temp files while analysis files are being built, and needs information from those files when saving. This becomes a problem if you have an anti-virus or garbage collection program that deletes temp files on a regular basis - Spotfire can't find the files it needs to save your analysis files. I would check with your IT/Security team to see if there is a way to build an exception into whatever program is running in your environment so that you don't run into this issue.

The other less-than-graceful workaround is to save your analysis files as often as possible so that temp files haven't been deleted.

You can also try creating a report and saving it on a new Spotfire session. The new session will create a new temp file.Also, if there is any update request on the local machine,please perform the update and try saving the file again.
