RES: IFS File Authority -- MIDRANGE-L

Hi,

We had a similar problem with Net.Data, instead of writing a new file over
an older, try to first delete the file, then write a new one.

Regards,

Rubens Lehmann

Check also the 'attributes' of the folder. "Restricted rename and unlink".
If USERA creates a file in a directory with this attribute enabled then even
QSECOFR can't get rid of it.
It was something popular with Linux and is the worlds crappiest
implementation of mimicing QTEMP in a stream file environment. Several
releases ago IBM tried setting this attribute on in /tmp. Which broke a lot
of email programs (including IBM's). People would set this off and the next
OS upgrade would turn it back on again. After several attempts at gelding
them with a pair of steel toes they stopped doing this.
But it is something to watch for.

What are the authorities to the IFS directory itself?

Adding/removing files requires authority to the container...not the

file.

We have a program that creates an xml file on the IFS using CGIDEV2.

When

USERA runs the program it creates the file on the IFS with USERA as

the

owner having *RWX authority and *PUBLIC has *RWX authority. When USERB

runs

the program to create the same file on the IFS, it doesn't replace the
existing file but creates a new file with TEMP(jobnumber) appended to

the

end. When I view the authority on the temp file, USERB is the owner

having

*RWX authority and *PUBIC has *RWX authority. What authority is

missing

that doesn't allow USERB to replace the file created by USERA?
