sdbverify report wrong permissions

I've just upgarded to 7.6.00.35 from 7.6.00.18, i'm having issues, it seem my sapdb permissions/owner are messed up (Linux)

./sdbverify

- Is there a command to actually fix the permissions ?

- Can somebody tell me what they should be (and should the owner be 'sdb' or 'sidadm' ?)

Thanks

I got it fixed, i had to go type the sap* password manually in configtool under com.sap.security.core.ume.service : ume.superadmin.password

then restart sap

then continue install

It broke, and i just reinstalled from scratch.

Thanks anyway.

Hi there,

1. run sdbverify as root user - otherwise there will be false warnings.

2. should there still be wrong permissions, the easiest way to get the permissions back right would be to run SDBINST (not SDBUPD) again and reinstall the binaries.

Manual correction of those permissions is a sisyphus task - don't try that.

regards,

Lars
