FATAL: Stacktrace: 0. /opt/OV/nonOV/perl/a/lib/site_perl/NPS/nps.pm:1911 [NPS::npslog:
Cause
This is caused by insufficient permissions for the Informix user to access the contentstore directory.
Fix
Verify that:
Umask is set to 0022
Directory /opt/OV/nonOV/Informix is present with ownership as informix:informix
umask 0022 (change it for both the 'root' & 'informix' user account)
Then:
mv /opt/OV/nonOV/Informix /opt/OV/nonOV/Informix.old
rm -rf /var/opt/OV/NNMPerformanceSPI/contentstore/data
initializeNPS.ovpl -m <NPS_binaries>/packages (#selection 4 to re-install Informix)
chmod -R 755 /opt/OV/nonOV/Informix
chmod -R 755 /var/opt/OV/NNMPerformanceSPI/contentstore/data
initializeNPS.ovpl -m <NPS_binaries>/packages (#selection 6 to re-create Informix Content Store)
