Permissions of service export directory
1.I am exporting a CSV to service export directory.Userid 'jboss' is used by pega application and by default that is the group as well that has permissions to the directory.
[server xxxxxx ]$ cd /a5/app/pega/pegatemp/StaticContent/global/
[server global]$ ls -lrt
drwxrwsr-x 2 jboss jboss 4096 Apr 5 15:22 ServiceExport
2.A unix batch job that has userid called 'batch' has to pick the file form the service export has xcom it elsewhere.Hence i changed the group of servce export to com_grp.(com_grp has both the ids jboss and xcom added to it).This setup will make the directory available for the batch user access.After doing that my directory look slike below .
[server xxxxxx ]$ cd /a5/app/pega/pegatemp/StaticContent/global/
[server global]$ ls -lrt
drwxrwsr-x 2 jboss com_grp 4096 Apr 5 15:30 ServiceExport
3.But strangely , the group is switching back to jboss after a while(as shown below) .I am not sure what is changing the group.I am not able to find out what process is changing this.
Can someone please help me nail this as the batch is not able to access the file and the transmission to external system is not happening.
[server xxxxxx ]$ cd /a5/app/pega/pegatemp/StaticContent/global/
[server global]$ ls -lrt
drwxrwsr-x 2 jboss jboss 4096 Apr 5 16:20 ServiceExport

Hello Harish,
What is Pega application's role in this (exporting CSV file)? Are you suspecting the application would be changing the permissions?
If Pega is writing this file, it will consistently be written as jboss user/group.

Hi Paul,
Application is changing the permission of the directory while i am trying to accomplish a task of enabling the xcom job to access access the directory.I spoke to a pega support person and he adviced not to workout anything using Service export as everytime temp directory gets refreshed , the permission will switch back to 'jboss'.Meanwhile, i used a different directory to implement this , but i was just wanting to confirm if when everytime temp files get deleted (or action happens on temp directory) ,the service export directory gets deleted and recreated.(cos that is the only possiblilty why i see the permission chaning to jboss jboss once again.And i hope that is the answer for this question.
