If you see the above error then you do not have permission to perform the Operation. There are two options as going forward.

Either you request for the permissions on your user id or you can get the user which has the permissions already.

So switch user will help you to do that. However, getting sudo access on your user id is the recommended way.

Generally SAPDS is the OS user have the permissions.

use su – username to swtich the user and provide the password.

So I switched the User and performed the same tasks. please see the screen.

-bash-4.1$ . ./al_env.sh
-bash-4.1$ ./svrcfg
