Re: IFS ownership

[Mark Waterbury <mark.s.waterbury@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 Hi, Rob,
Do you mean, without ANY programming? :-/
There are some APIs that can be used in various combinations to probably give the desired results.
For example, Carsten Flensburg wrote an article called "OVRGRPPRF" to Override the Group Profile.  So, in this way, you could allow certain users to temporarily (for the life of the job) change their primary group profile, to a group profile that is the desired owner of the IFS directory and all files to be created in that directory.
Some of these kinds of things can also be done using the UNIX concepts of uid and gid -- and there are APIs to set and change those attributes.
If you have access to Carsten's QTIPSRC you can search that source file for "IFS" and you should find some relevant topics.

for more details.
Hope that helps,
Mark S. Waterbury

 Is there any way to say any new object created in this directory should
have the same owner as the owner of the directory?
