Dont have permission to write xml file

Hi All,

Description: I am trying to implement following logic:
1.) I am calling an inline from my dct.
2.) The ipl from inline tries to write some piece of information in an xml file.
3.) This xml is present under the mount point (../default/main....../WORKAREA/dev1/content/xml)

PROBLEM: I am not able to write my data into this xml file. It gives me a system generated error: "unable to open new document: Permission denied"

WorkAround: I have given access permission to the group on this xml folder to whom my login id belongs in teamsite. But this didn't helped.

Please suggest what action shall i take to resolve this problem.

Go to the specified WORKAREA and provide as what all permissions you have on the same.
- Are you able to do a New Form Entry?
- Are you able to Delete / rename a file?
- Are you able to edit a file?

etc etc.

Try adding the iwui app id to the group.

I worked with IWOV support on this issue with my 671 SP1 Linux implementation and the conclusion was the inline process runs as iwui (not you) and therefore iwui needs required access.

Hi,

Thanks for replying guys.

I am able to do following:
- able to do a New Form Entry?
- able to Delete / rename a file?
- able to edit a file?

Initially I had tried adding iwui and iwts to the xml folder but still its not working.
Is there any other group or user which I shall add to this folder??

NOTE: I had been warned by Support people not to use iwts and iwui id.

Is it a safe practise to use iwts and iwui??

Please throw some light on my queries.

Thanks,
Retesh

Add iwui to the sharing group (OS or TS) that has edit access to the branch/workarea and file. Basically, iwui needs treated as any other "user" in order for inlines to work correctly.

How would you grant a new user edit access to the site (branch/workarea) and xml file? The same steps need taken for granting iwui access…

1) Is there a way to find out which user group is being used while trying to write/edit a file (from IPL in a file on the mount point)?

2) Is there a way by which we can use a group of our choice while opening a file for writing/editing (by default I guess is iwui or iwts )?

3) where is this group (iwui or iwts ) to be used is configured?

Try printing (to a log file) the values of:

See perldoc perlvar for more information about these variables.

if you term system generated error, it means in GUI?
Please correct me if I am wrong.

What is happeing is I am trying to write/edit on a file on mount using IPL , but I get access denied error. I tried giving access to the folder where I am tring to write/edit to group iwts and iwui, but that still didn't work.Thats why I am trying to figure out which group needs access to the folder.Or could I use my own group while writing/editing the file.

By System generated error I mean the error which I am getting to print with the help of $! -->

die "unable to parse document: $!";

Hi,
I have added iwui user to the group which have read and write access to the xml folder where I am trying write into an xml. But this did not helped. Gave same error message which I have mentioned erlier.

Is IWUI a member of the group used to secure the branch and workarea?

Adam Stoller

Please find the command in IPL
open ( NEWXMLFILE,">$xmlfile.new") or die debug("unable to create document: \n $( \n $) \n $< \n $> \n $!");

Log generated for this
unable to create document:
60001 60001
60001 60001
66679
66679
Permission denied

What user has a UID of 66679?
What group has a GID of 60001?
That is the user / group that is being used to access the file in question and getting a permission denied error.

retesh

Yes IWUI belong to that group.

Just to update you guys. We have removed all permission from the xml folder and then again tried giving permissions to iwui on the folder. It worked this time.

Thanks ghoti/LooseCannon
