Archiving write job failed with 'permission denied to UNIX file path' error

[Former Member]

Hi ,

I tried archiving in a development server using EC_PCA_ITM archiving object.

The write job got cancelled with following error:

Operating system message : Permission denied.

Archive file /usr/sap/archive/pc2/<filename> cannot be opened for write Program.

Can anyone tell me

- cause of the error?

- How to fix it?

Regards,

Vinod Iyer.

You don't mean here the database archiving, but SAP archiving.

Did you check if <sid>adm user has <b><i><u>write</u></i></b> permission for this directory?

Could you post the result of the following command?

<b><i>ls -al</i></b> <b>/usr/sap/archive/pc2</b>

Best regards

to check if <sid>adm has "<b><i>write</i></b>" permission for this directory:

as <sid>adm User

<i><b>cd</b></i> /usr/sap/archive/pc2

<b><i>touch</i></b> test

if not, you should give to this user the suitable permissions or change the group of the files unter this directory etc...

Best regards
