2461.0. "Correct file ownerships?" by GANTRY::HULL (Digital Services Delivery - Motown) Tue Mar 23 1993 23:09

2 questions on file ownerships under V3.0:

1.  Are all the files that are edited/created via CM in the .SITE... dirs
supposed to be owned by OA$MANAPP or [ALLIN1]?

2.  A user trying to start an A1 application that dynamically opens the
formlib, etc, kept getting a file open error on the formlib.  The
underlying priv error had something with -XOWN- as part of the error
string.  When I gave the user XOWN priv the error went away.  But this
application is in a system-wide accessible directory, NOT in the user's
private area. ?????

    Logical pointing to formlib should be $defined /exec....

2461.2OA$MANAPP owns the live part only!AIMTEC::WICKS_AOscar the Grouch is an Optimist!Tue Mar 23 1993 23:538
    correction to .1
    
    OA$MANAPP owns the Site tree with the exception of the DEV_ENGLISH
    and DEV_SHARE subdirectories which need to be owned by OA$PRVAPP

    Extension to .1 and .2
    
    Anything executed by OA$SUBMIT (e.g. MUA_CREATE type things) needs to
    be owned by ALLIN1 (sic) again, since otherwise the paranoid security
    checks in OA$SUBMIT won't run it.

    Also, the logicals that point to application forms libraries etc must
    not only be defined /EXEC, but must NOT begin with the characters SYS$,
    if users without XOWN are to be able to access them.

Re: .1 and .4 -

My logical is correctly set at System Exec level.  I've known that rule for
many many moons now.  The logical is OAC$TAILIB, so it doesn't violate the
SYS$ rule.

Everything was fine under V2.4, and as far as I can see, only this one user
had the problem.  XOWN fixed it, but who knows why !?!?!?!
