DB to XML ownership problem

aputnam

I am using a DB to XML DataDeploy deployment in a tool. The resultant file defined in <xml-formatted-data> is always owned by root,other. This causes a problem when I try to delete it later. Is there any way to define the ownership os this file when it is created. I check the dtd and there is nothing there.

Thanks in advance.

I may be mistaken, but I don't think it matters who owns the file if all you want to do is delete it. As long as you have write permission in the directory that contains the file, I think you should be able to delete it. At least, that's true on my Linux box.

You could try setting the SGID bit on the directory that holds the files, so that you can control the group that owns the files, but you'd also have to set the umask on the OD process to make sure that the group got write permission.
