3762693 - Is it supported to change /hana/data and /hana/log file permissions from 0666 to 0664 in paths marked "__DO_NOT_TOUCH_FILES_IN_THIS_DIRECTORY__"?

Symptom

• Security policy flags data and log files in /hana/data and /hana/log because they have 0666 permissions.

• The files are located in directories marked "__DO_NOT_TOUCH_FILES_IN_THIS_DIRECTORY__", creating uncertainty about whether OS-level permission changes are allowed.

• You are considering changing permissions from 0666 to 0664 and want to know supportability and risk.
