Issue/Introduction
We installed a new agent on our Linux server. The Linux agent12.3 is correctly running but we have an error when we want to launch the job.
The agent is started by the service manager using the login jde910.
This a screenshot of the error.
Cause
The getpwnam is a system call to get information about user with a given name.
getpwnam(jde910)' hence it is trying to get the information about the user jde910.
The agent was running as the user jde910 and hence did not have the necessary permission
getpwnam(jde910)' hence it is trying to get the information about the user jde910.
The agent was running as the user jde910 and hence did not have the necessary permission
Environment
Release : 12.3
Component : AUTOMATION ENGINE
Resolution
The agent needs to be started as the root user. The other workaround is to make root the owner of the file and then use SETUID so that it always runs with root privileges.
Please follow the instructions below.
