World writable files in /ggs directory

Hi Experts,
i installed oracle goldengate version 11.2.1.0.1 14171650_FBO on a LINUX-System.
I saw now that there are many files with permission -rw-rw-rw- , world writable.
For example ggserr.log, discard-files, report files (i.e MGR.rpt), trailfiles ...
Of cource our security-guys don't appreciate this ...
Does anyone know how i can cofigure GoldenGate that these files are created with lower permissions ?
The umask of the unix-user is not the problem.
thanks in advance,
Felix

Hi,
in the meantime i found the parameter 'OUTPUTFILEUMASK', useful to set permissions for trail- and discardfiles,
for a solution for ALL files a RFE seems to be necessary ...

  • /run/initramfs/usr/bin/cache_ world writable

    Hi all,
    while doing some analysis I found following binaries in /run/initramfs that are world writable:
    -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1388376 Feb 23 17:02 /run/initramfs/usr/bin/cache_check
    -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1388376 Feb 23 17:02 /run/initramfs/usr/bin/cache_dump
    -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1388376 Feb 23 17:02 /run/initramfs/usr/bin/cache_metadata_size
    -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1388376 Feb 23 17:02 /run/initramfs/usr/bin/cache_repair
    -rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 1388376 Feb 23 17:02 /run/initramfs/usr/bin/cache_restore
    As far as I can see they belong to https://www.archlinux.org/packages/core … ing-tools/
    Isn't this a possible security threat? For instance if something modifies those binaries (during boot) before they are executed by another user?
    Thanks & regards!

    There isn't really enough data in your post to answer the question directly, but I can offer a few pointers.
    The solution lies in determining the path to the .jar file. For that you either need to know (or determine) the name of the mounted .DMG, and the directory structure within it.
    You don't say whether you know this data, or even whether the .DMG is already mounted.
    If you know the name of the DMG volume and the path to the data, you can just:
    set jarPath to "/Volumes/DMG_name/path/to/the.jar"
    do shell script "/usr/bin/java -jar " & quoted form of jarPath
    If you need to check if the dmg is mounted, as the Finder:
    tell application "Finder"
              set isMounted to (exists disk "DMG_name")
              if isMounted = false then -- the disk doesn't exist, so open it:
                        open "HD:path:to:the.dmg"
              end if
    end tell
    I don't know if that's enough to address your issue. Post back if you need more.

  • Name of the file in a directory

    There is a file in a directory say C:\abcd
    I want to find the name of the file in that directory.
    There is only one file in that directory
    How to proceed with this

    Sarma,
    That was a little abrupt and rude of you. Oracle_Friend was only asking if anyone knew of a way to detect the existence of a file in a directory, not exactly asking the world of us. And for all you know he probably has already searched in documentation, but probably isn't quite sure what to look for.
    Remember : The manual has every damn thing that you want. We can only help you when you are stuck somewhere after having treid many options.a) sometimes people don't know what options to try so how can they have tried many options before posting on here.
    b) The manual doesn't have every damn thing that you want. I want a lot of money and some lunch cos I'm getting hungry, but it doesn't have that. On a serious note though, the manuals do miss things and can't possibly cater for everybody's business requirements.
    Chill out man, and help rather than hinder.

  • Error in sender file adapter: source directory does not exist

    Hi,
    The PI system is 7.11
    I've created sender file adapter with following details:
    Transport Protocol : File System
    Source directory: /interfaces/In
    I checked in AL11 that this path really exists and it does. (I can even see the .txt file that should be processed.)
    But still i get in Communication Channel Monitoring the following error:
    "Configured Source directory "/interfaces/In" does not exist.
    (i also tried to give the source directory as "interfaces/In" and as "//interfaces/In" but still the same error.
    Any suggestions as to what is wrong?
    kr
    Robert

    Actually, Need to use forward slash (/) to separate directory names in accordance with the Java specification.
    But wanted to try if that works..
    Also check directory name , path again as this is case sensitive...

    What your code is doing now, is deleting all filenames that are longer than 10 characters.

  • Java Program to copy file from one directory to another failing

    Hello All,

    Java beginner here so help is much appreciated.  I'm have some java code that I'm using to copy a file from one directory to another in an Oracle Applications Server.  I notice that when moving to a new instnace I started to get file not found errors.  I think it's because of the directory.  My question is, does the directory in which I trying to pick up the file have to be a DBA_DIRECTORY, or a UTL_FILE directory in order for the java to find the file and move it?
    Here is my code...

    I get these messages when calling the java from SQL Plus as follows...
    serveroutput on size 100000;
    dbms_java.set_output(1000000);
    MY_PKG.CopyFile('/home/my_user/set_env.sh','/interface/home'); (this is call to oracle pl/sql package which calls the java.)
    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
    Directory or File Not Found
    PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
    If I change the directory from /home/my_user/ to any directory that is defined in DBA_DIRECTORIES or is a UTL_FILE directory to program works.  Is it perhaps because the java is in a PL/SQL package as seen below?  The PL/SQL program runs as the APPS user and I have issued the following the command grant JAVASYSPRIV to APPS.
    Here is the PL/SQL Package....

  • How to open and read many files from a directory and store contents in 2D array?

    I want to make a VI that opens and reads the data from various files contained in a directory (200 files each with 2 columns) and store these in a single 2D array. For file number 1 I want to store the data from both columns in the 2D array, but for files 2 to 200 I only want to store the second column of each file. Can someone please help?

    Hi Nadav,
    Thanks for your help. I have followed your instructions but i cannot get it to work. I used the LIST DIRECTORY to list the files in the directory - that works. However, how do I read each of the 200 files using READ FROM SPREADSHEET FILE without me having to manually select each of the 200 files? So, if I use LIST DIRECTORY to list all 200 files in an array, how do I get each of these to open and store the data in a 2D array? Here is what I have done (File called read_files.VI) Could you please help me? Thank you very much in advance.

  • Open file from a directory that is not web accessible?

    Subject says it all really, I'd like users to be able to download files from a directory that is otherwise not accessible by the browser. There is a way to do this is PHP, the readfile() function. Is there something equivalent in Java?
    Thanks!

    You can do that with a Servlet and a shot of java.io API.
    Here's an example: [http://balusc.blogspot.com/2007/07/fileservlet.html].

  • Script to open all PST files in a directory and open with Outlook.

    Hi!  I am looking for a script that opens all PST files in a directory, opens it in outlook, and writes to a log to see if it completed correctly.  I'm new to VBscript and just want to see how the script would be written.
    Thank you!!

    Thank you for all the input!  JRV, I went through the repository and couldn't find anything about importing into Outlook.  I will use it for future references and I appreciate you directing me there.
    Grant, I need to be able to locate all PST files within a directory, not point it to a specific pst.  I also need it written to a log file.  Here is what I have...Don't laugh, I'm very new...
    const ForAppending = 8
    set objTextFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile ("C:\Users\jimmy.nguyen\Desktop\Lucky.txt", ForAppending, True)
    set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set objShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
    strCommand = "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12\outlook.exe"
    Set objExecObject = objShell.Exec(strCommand)
    wscript.sleep 4000
    Set myOlApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
    Set myNS = myolapp.GetNamespace("MAPI")
    myNS.AddStore "objfile.name"
    Sub ShowSubFolders(fFolder)
    Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(fFolder.Path)
    Set colFiles = objFolder.Files
    For Each objFile in colFiles
    If UCase(objFSO.GetExtensionName(objFile.name)) = "pst" Then
    objFile.Name

    Next
    For Each Subfolder in fFolder.SubFolders

  • How do i move a file from one directory to another?

    Can anyone help me in moving a file from one directory to another?
    The following code just does not work!!
    File source_file = new File(source_file);
    if(source_file.exists())
    File dest_file = new File(destination_file);
    if(!dest_file.exists())
    boolean moved = source_file.renameTo(dest_file);
    System.out.println("moved.."+moved);
    The varirable moved is always false.
    Can anyone tell me whts wrong in this code?

    The problem in your code is you used file object as argument when you create a new File. I changed a little bit codes and it should be fine now.
    String source_file1="test111.txt";
    String destination_file1="test222.txt";
    try{
         File source_file = new File(source_file1);
         if(source_file.exists())
              File dest_file = new File(destination_file1);
              if(!dest_file.exists())
                   boolean moved = source_file.renameTo(dest_file);
                   System.out.println("moved.."+moved);
    catch(Exception e){
               e.printStackTrace();
    }

  • How to get all files in one directory

    Hi there,
    is there any way to get all the files in one directory?
    e.g. a method

    Just out of interest, which part of the File API was confusing?
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/index.html
    If you look down the left-hand side, you'll see a frame listing "All File". If you select "File" from that list, it opens up the API in the right-hand frame. Quite near the top you'll find "listFiles".
    I only ask as this (and other questions easily answered by looking at the API) are frequently asked. Did you overlook it when you read the API or did you just not read it?
    I really want to know. I think there is scope to cater for that behaviour within this site. A nice API finder would be good; something more intelligent than the search function (which people use less frequently even than the API docs).
