Description

When deploying our TIBCO BusinessEvents application, we see the following error:

How can we eliminate this error and successfully deploy our application?

Issue/Introduction

How to avoid errors relating to the _annotations.idx file.

Environment

All Supported Platforms

Resolution

The key line in the above exception stack is.. 
Caused by: java.io.FileNotFoundException: /opt/tibco/be/6.1/bin/_annotations.idx (Permission denied)
To resolve the error, ensure that the Linux file permissions on the _annotations.idx file allow for access by the Linux user who starts the application. For example.. 
user@hostname:~$ ls -al /opt/tibco/be/6.1/bin
total 688
drwxrwxrwx  3 sbadmin sbadmin   4096 Apr  9 08:15 .
drwxrwxrwx 16 sbadmin sbadmin   4096 Mar  1 09:13 ..
-rwxrwxrwx  1 sbadmin sbadmin  30231 Apr  9 07:57 _annotations.idx
The Linux user sbadmin (shown above) is expected to be able to run BusinessEvents applications on this machine without error, as it owns the _annotations.idx file.  However, other users also have permissions to access the file as well (as the file permissions are set to 777 in the above example).
