PH52965: ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE TO ENABLE SETTING FILE PERMISSIONS FOR ROTATABLE LOG FILES

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• Customers might like the ability to change the file permissions
  for the IBM Integration Bus rotatable log files, i.e., activity
  logs, archive statistics and resource statistics. Currently
  these are all set to the default value of 660 (rw-rw----) and
  there is no option to change these.
  
  This APAR introduces a new environment variable that when set,
  overrides the default value with the value indicated by the
  environment variable. For example, setting the environment
  variable as follows:
  
  MQSI_SET_ROTATABLELOGFILE_PERMISSIONS=0666
  
  will set the files with permissons rw-rw-rw as below (older logs
  have permissons rw-rw----, latest log has rw-rw-rw-):
  
  -rw-rw-rw- 1 OWNER GROUP 5890 Feb 10 08:18 activitylogs
  -rw-rw---- 1 OWNER GROUP 7477 Feb 9 16:06 activitylogs.1
  -rw-rw---- 1 OWNER GROUP 3593 Feb 9 16:25 activitylogs.2
  -rw-rw---- 1 OWNER GROUP 8353 Feb 9 16:41 activitylogs.3
