MOUNT_POINT_MODE - UBROKER configuration option

Description

The MOUNT_POINT_MODE 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 database file system (HFS or zFS) is initialized only if the file .inited is not found in the root directory. When initialization is performed, .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; the Broker will not perform its initialization.
