Error description
When using the FILETEXTEXIT server option the file that is created may not have the correct permissions associated with it - for example:- FILETEXTEXIT yes /instance/filetextexit.out REPLACE This creates the file - but on starting the server you can see:- ANR7806W Unable to open file /instance/filetextexit.out On checking the file permissions we find that it is set to 0001 ---------x 1 tsminst1 tsmsrvrs 5000 Nov 17 21:06 filetextexit.out In this case the directory permissions were 0755 and the Umask for the user tsminst1 was set to 0022 A change should be made to the server code to specify the correct file permission Tivoli Storage Manager Versions Affected: All supported versions 6.3.x and 7.1.x on Linux platform Initial Impact: Low Additional Keywords: TSM IBM Spectrum Protect permission
Local fix
Manually set the permissions on the file and use the APPEND parameter in the FILETEXTEXIT option - thus:- FILETEXTEXIT yes file_name APPEND
