/system/u/tomcat/v181/deploy/tomcat/work/Catalina/localhost:

drwxr-xr-x 2 BPXROOT xxxxxxGR 0 Jul 15 09:21 endevor
drwxr-xr-x 2 BPXROOT xxxxxxGR 0 Jul 15 09:21 host-manager
drwxrwxrwx 2 BPXROOT xxxxxxGR 0 Jul 15 09:21 manager
Environment
Release : 18.1
Component : CA Endevor Software Change Manager
Resolution
The scratchDir unusable error is permission related.
Only BPXROOT has write permission to host-manager, the USERID1 does not have the write permission.
The solution is to add write permission to xxxxxxGR group:
chmod -R 775 /system/u/tomcat/vxx/deploy/tomcat/work/Catalina/localhost
Or
Stop Tomcat
Delete all contents under the work dir.
Restart Tomcat
When Tomcat starts, it will rebuild all subdirs under work with the correct permission.
