We observed that each time we create a folder on the OBIEE Catalog, this is created on the file system (catalog folder) with following permissions
drwx------
However our customer has developed some scripts that need to have the “read” permissions to folders for groups too.
Do you know any way to change this behavior to provide the permissions
drwxr----- ??
Note that files created from OBIEE Catalog are created on the File System with -rw-r-----
If we ssh login on the Exalytics server with the “oracle” user and create a folder directly on the catalog folder, then the OS uses the umask assigned to the “oracle” user and provides the correct permissions (umask 022) (drwxr-xr-x)
So it seems that the BI Presentation server (sawserver) or some internal script changes at some point the umask for creating the folders on the web catalog’s folder.
(All OBIEE processes are executed with the “oracle” user)
Any idea where or how can we change this behavior?
