Error description

  • Error Message: When user installs java using install anywhere,
Installed JRE folder ownership changes to

drwxrwxr-x 4 root     root  4096 Dec 27 13:11 docs

drwxrwxr-x 5 tcs11131  505  4096 Oct 17 02:42 jre

Stack Trace: N/A
.

Local fix

  • Manually change the ownership of JRE folder using
chown root:root jre

Problem summary

  • During the packaging process the JVM is extracted from a
temporary folder maintained by a non root user and IA will
retain the ownership of this user.

Problem conclusion

  • This APAR will be fixed in the following Java Releases:
   6    SR16      (6.0.16.0)
   6 R1 SR8       (6.1.8.0)
   7    SR7       (7.0.7.0)
   7 R1 SR1       (7.1.1.0)
.
The Packaging script has been updated to retain the JRE
folder ownership as root.

Temporary fix
