When you retreive, just retreive without permissions if possible. I know
its possible in a restore, but since you mentioned retrieve I assume it was
an archived file. That way the file will accept the permissions of the
folder you lay it down into.

Subject:  Permissions change after a retrieve

Hello all,

Server version: 4.2.2
Aixnode1: TSM - 4.1.0 ,OS - 4.3.3.06
Aixnode2: TSM - 4.2.2 ,OS - 5.1.02

We recently retrieved a file from Aixnode1 to Aixnode2 via the client gui.
The two nodes are not exactly the same in users groups in that the owner of
the original file doesn't exist on Aixnode2 and will not.  Is there any way
to specify a user in the retrieval process so we don't have to go through
every object and change ownership on it?

One idea I had was to create these users on Aixnode2 just for the purpose
of
the retrieval and then if there was a command to change ownership on ALL
files owned by this user to another we could then eliminate that user.
Unfortunately my Aix background is quite limited.

Any help is appreciated!  Thanks.

Rob
