Default File Permissions

[Former Member]

We recently created a new QAS environment and in doing so for some reason all files created via SAP and Client applications using the "open dataset" command get written to the file system with permissions of -rw-rw---- rather than rw-rw-rw. We are on ERP 4.6C, does anybody the correction on the default file permissions?

~Thanks!

you can change umask of user [sid]adm to 022

Is this done at the OS level (in this case HP-UX) or at the SAP level (in which case how)?

[andreas_herzog]

umask is a unix command...so you'll have to make the change on os level for example:

> su - <sid>adm

> umask 022

umask 022 will result in a default 755 (or: rwx r-x r-x) authorization

change this in the the home directory of user [sid]adm

change.sh and .csh contents and use umask.

to get -rw-rw-rw-, use:

umask 111

What we found as the solution, just to wrap this up is in SAP tcode RZ10 we changed the instance and startup profiles of the QAS instance, specifically the install/umask parameter to value '000'. This changed the default file premissions that files created in SAP applications were given on the file system.
