After successfully running CFZRCUST, the following files are located on your system:

Table 4. Installation directories for z/OS CIM
Directory	Description	Owner	Access
/etc/wbem	This directory is system specific and used by the CIM server to store its configuration files and environment for the started task. It has to be owned and writable by the CIM server user (e.g. CFZSRV)	CIM server user	rwxr-xr-x
/var/wbem	This directory is system specific. The CIM server uses it to store its data repository for CIM classes and instances as well as for various files used at runtime, such as the special file required for connecting to the CIM server through UNIX Domain Sockets (cimxml.socket). This directory has to be owned by the CIM server user and only the CIM server user must have write access to it.	CIM server user	rwxr-xr-x
/var/wbem/logs	Used by the CIM server to log the stdout and stderr output when running as a started task. See Customizing the started task procedure CFZCIM for details.	CIM server user	rwxr-xr-x

If the CIM server user ID is not privileged (UID ≠ 0), ensure that the directories /etc/wbem and /var/wbem are owned by this user ID.

The following example shows how to change ownership:

Example:

chown -R <Server UserID>:<Server GroupID> /etc/wbem
chown -R <Server UserID>:<Server GroupID> /var/wbem
