Issue/Introduction

nhCreateDb command fails with error regarding wrong umask setting

Cause

root user is set correctly with umask 002

 

NH_USER was not set with umask 002 as required

 

While root user does require umask 002 and is required to run the nhCreateDb command, it does use the NH_USER behind the scenes. Thus it also requires NH_USER to have umask set to 002.

Environment

All supported eHealth releases running on Unix systemsDoes not impact Windows users

Resolution

Log in as NH_USER and set umask to 002 (run "umask 002", then run "umask" to confirm response is 002).

Once again:

1. Log in as root
2. CD to the $NH_HOME directory 
3. Source the nethealthrc.csh 
4. Run the nhCreateDb command again
