Issue/Introduction

Why is CA JCLCheck not using the SIGNON USERID value when validating JCL with use of CA ENDEVOR?

Environment

Release:
Component: JCLCHK

Resolution

When running CA JCLCheck under the CA Endevor processor with the alternate ID feature, and also using the CA JCLCheck SIGNON option, you will need to use option ALTID=N.  

Example:
//JCLC EXEC PGM=JCLCHECK,ALTID=N 

 

The Endevor's ALTID=N option will prevent CA Endevor from applying the CA Endevor alternate ID during the processing of JCLCheck.  This allows JCLCheck to use the USER= value on the JOB statement of the validating JCL, or the USER(userid) in the CA JCLCheck runtime option for security validation.
