Migrate non-root configurations to root
To set the ownership of directories for the v8 dmgr, node agents and application servers.
Change the ownership and file permissions of the node directories after running the WASPostUpgrade and before starting the WAS v8.0 dmgr, node agent, or application servers.
For example, for dmgr, to set configuration owner, as a user root, run...
cd $WASROOT/profiles/
chown -R wasadmin dmgr/
chgrp -R wasndgrp dmgr/
chmod -R 755 dmgr/
...
cd $WASROOT/profiles/dmgr/bin
./startManager.shDo the same for node agents and appservers.
