Securing Files

Note: The utilities mentioned in this section apply to Linux and Unix environments only.

The file structure of your application is protected by permissions set at the operating system level. By default, the settings provided upon installation comply with Oracle standards in respect to permissions. For more details of the individual user permissions on product directories and subdirectories, refer to the Server Administration Guide.

You can use the following process to reset the environment permissions to the default settings:

1. Execute the splenviron.sh utility to set the environment variables for the product environment to reset. Refer to the Server Administration Guide for details of this process.

2. Execute the setpermissions.sh utility to reset the environment permissions back to the defaults.
