Issue/Introduction:

Description:

I have an application on a UNIX box, which uses OS user id AAA. My dSeries agent starts with OS user id DDD. Can dSeries launch my app using AAA or am I limited to using DDD?

Solution:

Job can only run using other OS user id when agent starts with superuser (root). If agent starts with other user id than root, all the jobs can only be submitted with that user.

Environment:

Release:
Component: SYSAGD
