Newly created file is owned by iwui

We are using TeamSite Templating 5.0.2 on Solaris. In one of our CGI scripts, we are creating a new DCR by using touch. system("touch /iwmnt/default/main/IAS/ED/WORKAREA/OPA-work/templatedata/PublicAffairs/PressReleases/data/$temp_Month-$temp_Year/$temp_Date"); However, we run into a file ownership issue because the newly created DCR is owned by "iwui". We have tried unsuccessfully to use chown. How do you do this?

That is indeed a surprise for me. I just tested the touch and a new file creation through a custom menu item. However, I do not get iwui as the owner. I am getting my username as the owner. Are you using a cgi-task or a custom menu item? Or is it a cgi call-out since I see that you have mentioned templating.

I wonder if it has to do with the fact that you are using the system call instead of a perl built in.

If it is a callout from the dct screen maybe try and capture the info being passed (say have it call a modified show_env.cgi to just print out the env.).

We needed to add iw_cgi_wrapper.cgi for all our cgi calls, which impersonates the currently logged in TeamSite user. This works.
