Why is JCLCheck not using SIGNON USERID when validating JCL with ENDEVOR?

Products

• JCLCheck Workload Automation

Issue/Introduction

The SIGNON userid value is ignored when running JCLCheck under the Endevor processor with the Endevor's Alternate ID feature.  How to turn off the Endevor's ID when invoking JCLCheck? 

Environment

Release: 12.0
Component: JCLCheck Workload Automation

Resolution

Specifying ALTID=N on the ENDEVOR processor step that invokes JCLCheck.  

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

 

Additional Information

The Endevor's ALTID=N option will prevent Endevor from applying the 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 JCLCheck runtime option for security validation.
