Description

Behavior of amfstat and amfregister commands with incorrect permission

The amfstat and amfregister commands may fail or provide unexpected results if the permission set for the amfstat and amfregister files are incorrect:

  • amfstat:  The command fails to provide information about the resources that are registered with AMF.
  • amfregister:  The script-based entry points call amfregister. If permissions are not correct, script based entry points fail.
