SAP-XI, permission of the instance.properties file changes unexpectedly

[Former Member]

Hi forum,

I have XI installed in HP-UX,

the permission of the instance.properties file (/usr/sap/<SID>/<instance name>/j2ee/cluster/instance.properties) in my XI system (installed in HP-UX), changes automatically, and hence the server starts giving problem like, JCO error while message-mapping, etc,

can u tell me how the permission changes on the fly,

I mean to say, in proper condition we keep it as rw_rw_rw, but it changes to rw_ ___ ___,

pls help,

Hi Sudeep

I just checked on two systems. It looks like the permissions should be:

sidadm > ll j2ee/cluster/instance.properties
-rw-r--r--   1 sidadm     sapsys        3669 Nov 25 12:41 j2ee/cluster/instance.properties

Can you please check if <b>sidadm> umask</b> returns 022?
