Copying datafiles & cofiles in winscp

[Former Member]

Dear Team,

We have 4 servers in landscape. DEV,SBX,PRD,SBx. First 3 have been included in transport route. To do transport from DEV to SBX or reverse. we use winscp.

Query: when we do reverse transport(SBx to DEv). we change permissions of data files & cofiles to 777.

Why wee do this...

Hi Sumit,

The UID ad GID of <sid>adm would be be different in dev and SBX and when you sc the files the permissions won't be rightly set in target so you will have a scenario where even read is not going to happen. So you can change the permissions to 777 beforehand (i.e before scp) so as avoid this issue.

Hi Ruchit,

But When we transport from DEV to SBX via winscp, system doesn't ask for change permission...

i think that in winscp there is declared a target user that will phisically creates target files&cofiles with nopermissions for target sidadm

granting files with 777 give the missing permissions for target sidadm

maybe it you configure better target user you will save this step

Simply the UID and GID is defined by the user used to logon to the target system session in WINSCP, regarding permissions... 777 is not required... standard permission for the transport files is 664.
