The Secure Agent deletes the staged files from the staging directory after writing the data to Amazon S3. Specify a staging directory in the mapping properties with an appropriate amount of disk space for the volume of data that you want to process. Specify a directory on the machine that hosts the Secure Agent.

The Secure Agent creates subdirectories in the staging directory. Subdirectories use the following naming convention:

<staging directory>/infaRedShiftStaging<MMddHHmmssSSS+xyz>
