MOUNT_POINT_MODE - UEC configuration option

Description

The MOUNT_POINT option specifies the z/OS UNIX access permission mode value with which the mounted database file system's root directory is set.

The z/OS UNIX file system is initialized only if the file .inited is not found in the root directory. When initialization is performed once, .inited is created; initialization will not be performed again.

If you need to customize the directory ownership or permissions, define the file .inited in the file system's root directory; UEC will not perform its initialization.
