Securing access to the working directory and the installation directory

You can secure access to the working directory and the installation directory for the server instance so that only authorized user IDs can access them.

The working directory, represented by the ++HBRWORKPATH++ JCL variable, holds data such as installation logs, component details, and trace output. The installation directory, represented by the ++HBRINSTPATH++ variable, contains files needed to run the server instance.

Give the server user ID the following permissions:
  • Read, write and execute permissions to the ++HBRWORKPATH++ directory.
  • Read and execute permissions to the ++HBRINSTPATH++ directory.
