Files and Directories Under $SWDIR are Non-writable

Problem Description

When you run the installer to upgrade iProcess Engine and you are logged in as the background user, messages are displayed informing you that directories and files under $SWDIR cannot be written to.

For example:

There is 1 directory and 98 files under $SWDIR
that cannot be written by the current user.
When running an upgrade as a non-root user, all directories and files that are located under $SWDIR must be writable by the non-root user.
Do you want to view the non-writable directories/files ? (Y/N - default Y):

Oracle, DB2

What To Do

To resolve this problem:

1. Enter Y to see the list of directories and files that the installer cannot write to. If the list includes iProcess Engine system directories or files, you will need to correct the problem before continuing with the upgrade. However, if the list consists of only user data files (for example, .xfr procedure files, user-written utilities, or similar user data files), you can continue, as these will not impact the upgrade.
2. The following prompt is displayed: 
ERROR: non-writable directories/files under $SWDIR.
Please correct and re-run the upgrade.
Continue with upgrade anyway? (Y/N - default N):
3. If you are certain that the non-writable files and directories will not impact the success of the upgrade, enter Y to continue.
4. If you need to correct the problem before continuing:

  1. Enter N to quit the installer.

  2. Make sure that all directories and files in and under $SWDIR are writable. See Setting Up the iProcess Engine System Directory for more information about how to do this.

  3. Restart the installer.
