![]() APAR status Closed as program error. Error description The customer would like to make the directory permission bit settings on the /apps directory to be more strict. Preferably, the customer would like to be able to specify the settings he desires.Local fix Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of WebSphere Application Server * * V4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390 * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Apps directory permission bits are too * * lenient. Permission bits of the files * * created under the apps directory are * * not set in accordance to the custom * * setting in the J2EE Server JCL * * procedure. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Default umask values are being over written by WebSphere product code and files under apps directory are created with permission bits 775 and 664.Problem conclusion Support has been modified to not over write the default umask values. Custom setting of permission bits is possible by specifying the _EDC_UMASK_DFLT environment variable in the J2EE Server JCL procedure. APAR PQ69182 requires a change to V4.0.1 WebSphere for z/OS: Installation and Customization and V4.0.1 WebSphere for z/OS: Assembling J2EE Applications publications. Periodically, we refresh the documentation on our Web site, so the changes might have been made before you read this text. To access the latest online documentation, go to the product library page at: www.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/zos_os390/ The change is to text in Chapter 2 of the Installation and Customization book and Chapter 8 of the Assembling J2EE Applications book, which now read: ________________________________________________________________ Changed information Chapter 2, pg. 36 (Installation and Customization GA22-7834-06) Chapter 8, pg. 136 (Assembling J2EE Applications SA22-7836-05) On the JCL EXEC statement, specify: PARM= ENVAR("_EDC_UMASK_DFLT=00x") where 00x is the umask value to use. The default value is 002. Recommendation: A umask value of 002 will cause files to be created with permission bits set to 775. This is the IBM recommended value. APAR PQ69182 is associated with SERVICE LEVEL W401500 of WebSphere Application Server V4.0.1 for z/OS and OS/390.Temporary fix Comments
