Michael Gray (86●12●6) | asked Oct 07 '10, 12:35 p.m.
Does jazz have a notion of file permissions (mode bits / ACL's)?
For example, we'd like to be able to have a file (script or binary)
be set to executable upon scm load into a local workspace and/or
have file permissions preserved when checked in and then later
loaded.

Geoff:

Then what is the purpose of the Executable file property in the Jazz Source Control panel of the file properties dialog? I have the RTC 2.0 client installed on Linux, and when I chmod +x a file, RTC recognizes that the file permissions has changed and puts it into my pending changes view as unresolved. After delivering this change I expected that when the file was extracted for a build (on Unix) that this bit would be set, but it was not. Is this file property for some other purpose?

Thanks,
Howard

I was answering the "file permissions" part of your question (which RTC
does not yet support). But it should support the "executable" flag. If
this isn't being set properly on a file in the file area, please file a bug.

How does one set this executable flag? I can view it by right-clicking on the file, Properties -> Jazz Source Control but there's no option to change it.

Also, Team -> Change File Properties does not have an "executable" option anywhere that I can see.

I agree with Howard's comment. Setting the jazz.executable property on a file should cause it to load it with execute bit set. I have tested with 3.0.1 and this doesn't seem to work. I think there is an enhancement pending that implements full-blown ACLs, but this could serve as a good interim solution.
