Issue/Introduction

nhCreateDb command fails with error regarding wrong umask setting

Environment

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

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.

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
