Products

• ACF2 - z/OS

Issue/Introduction

HFS path testing to ensure the environment can support an increase in USS activity.

Environment

Release : 16.0

Resolution

Access to the group of the final directory and the file itself is required.
The only time access to all the groups, for each directory, is when you are chaining up the directories.
for example: file /u/user/lastdir/file.

chaining up the directories..
cd /u
ls -E
cd user
ls -E
cd lastdir
ls -E
obrowse file

 You would need the group permission for each directory

if you just did

cd /u/user/lastdir
obrowse file

you would get permission from lastdir and file permissions.
