For historic reasons, my VM and z/OS user IDs differ. Is there any way to automate jobs submitted by VMGIL to run as user ID ZOSGIL? If IBM supplied an exit, they'd likely be delighted to activate it.
Our admins have set up for several of us in this situation IDs such as VMGIL; no TSO logon; all profiles identical to ZOSGIL. But ongoing duplicate redundant parallel maintenance is a PITA. And there's the often-mentioned phenomenon that getpwuid() sometimes reports me as ZOSGIL; other times as VMGIL. It would really be useful if RACF provided user ID aliasing, so whenever a program or programmer said "VMGIL" it would automatically seek on to the entry for "ZOSGIL", and there wouldn't be two OMVS segments with my UID. -- [*]gil ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
