Changing UID in iSeries

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I am running ECC 6.0 SR3 on IBM iSeries V5R4

I'm trying to share transport directories between two sap instances via CHGR3SHLOC.

I can run the command successfully, but in STMS I got message:

Don't have permission to folder /usr/sap/trans/bin

According to sapnote 69429, the UID (User ID) and GID (Group ID) must always be identical. When I try to change the UID of <sid>OFR with QSECOFR via CHGUSRPRF, it says that I'm not allowed to change UID. The complete message is as follows:

CPF22DC, The UID of a user profile may not be changed when the profile is the owner of an object in a directory.

Can anyone please advise on how to change the UID so it will be the same in both instances?

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Pandu

Hi Pandu,

I would say, you are on the wrong path here ;-(

This note describes the issues when using NFS - this is typically NOT done as QFileSvr.400 is used, except, you are using Linux Appl servers.

=> I guess, that it is very easy: User and password have to match on both boxes - I'm pretty sure, this is not the case ...

Hi Volker,

Thanks for the reply. I have created same user with same password on both boxes before.

Maybe i missed something here. I'll try to look into it first

Thank you very much.

Hi all,

solved by setting password level the same in both prd and dev machine.

Use DSPSECA to display security attributes, then change the system value QPWDLVL via WRKSYSVAL.

Thank you.
