ARS0199E - Unexpected empty directory in cache

What were you doing?

Validating the cache filesystem with the arsmaint -v command.

What happened?

arsmaint found a file or directory with invalid permissions.

Example

 Invalid ownership and/or permissions on cache file/directory >/arscache/cache1/12345/ABC/DOC<

Troubleshooting

Fix the permissions on individual files or directories with the chmod command.

IBM CMOD cache storage files and subdirectories should have the following permissions.

All directories should be set to read-write-execute with the following command:

 chmod 700 /arscache/cache1/12345/ABC/DOC

All files in the cache filesystem that have already been migrated to TSM need to be set to the read permission:

 chmod 400 /arscache/cache1/12345/ABC/DOC/123FAAA

All files in the cache filesystem that have NOT been migrated to TSM need to be set with read and write permissions:

 chmod 600 /arscache/cache1/12345/ABC/DOC/456FAAB

Symbolic links in the retr subdirectory need all permissions (777):

 chmod 777 /arscache/cache1/retr/ABC/DOC/123FAAC
