PH62661: SETTING _DFH_UMASK IN JVMPROFILE HAS NO EFFECT

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as unreproducible in next release.

Error description

• The umask set in the JVMProfile, using the parameter
  _DFH_UMASK, does not apply to 'other' permission bits and so
   the customer cannot change the permissions for 'other' only for
   the 'user' and 'group'. This applies to files and directories.
  
   Similar to APAR PH49699(5.6), now for 5.5

  ****************************************************************
  When a CICS Liberty server is started a number of files are
  created, one being wlpenv. This file is being created with the
  default permissions of 770. The CICS Liberty server has a
  jvmprofile which includes a _DFH_UMASK but this is not being
  honoured.
  

Problem conclusion

Comments

• CICS code has been changed to honour the setting of _DFH_UMASK.
