Goal
There is a need to create an Oracle Report output file as the OS owner who ran the report instead of the user who installed or started the Reports Server.
By default, when a report is being run using Reports Server (via rwclient.sh or rwservlet, not rwrun.sh) and using destype=file, the report output file will be generated with the ownership of the user who started the Reports Server.
In the following example, the Reports Server was started as the oracle account and the test.rdf report is run as root user.
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root),1(bin),2(daemon),3(sys),4(adm),6(disk),10(wheel)
[root@<machine> oracle]# rwclient.sh server=rep_test report=test.rdf destype=file desformat=pdf desname=/tmp/test.pdf userid=<userid> authid=<orcladmin>/*****
[root@<machine> oracle]# ls -l /tmp/test.pdf
-rw-rw-r-- 1 oracle oracle 42429 Oct 24 15:50 /tmp/test.pdf
Notice that the ownership of the report output file is set to oracle account instead of root. This is because the Reports Server and Reports Engine process were started as the oracle user.
How can you generate an output file with ownership set to the user who ran report?
