Hi Justin,
Thanks for the information. I am still facing the same issue. Here is what I attempted:
1) ran the command: umask a+r temp
"temp" being the ODWEK temporary directory that is listed in ICN. This command was run as the user ID who owns that directory.
2) when attempting to retrieve the file from ICN it is posted to the temp directory as rw only for the above user ID.
To further complicate things, if that same user runs a touch command in that directory, the permission on the touched file are rw.r..r.. Which leads me to think that ICN/ODWEK/WebSphere is overriding these permission settings somehow when posting these temporary files.
