How can we change the owner of TIBCO products installed under TIBCO_HOME.
Resolution
Be aware such use cases are not certified by Tibco QA so we recommend customers to resintall to avoid any unknown risk. However in the Linux environment you can try the following steps in a test environment before trying on production .
1). Use the chown command to change the ownership of the TIBCO_HOME folder .
2). Under the ROOT_USER_HOME directory you will see a few TIBCO related files .TIBCO , .TIBCOEnvInfo folder and vpd.properties and vpd.properties.<MachineName> . Change the ownership using chown and move it to your new user home.
For example if your new user is "tibco" then you need to move following files from /root folder to /home/tibco 1). .TIBCO 2). .TIBCOEnvInfo 3). vpd.properties 4).vpd.properties.<MachineName> |
Permissions required by new user :
On Unix, the product can be installed by a regular (non-root) user and super-user (root). Different users can install the same product at different locations. You must have write permission to the /tmp directory or the installer will throw output permission denied error in the console. |
