Change of Ownership of a Job

[jagadishan perumal]

Hello,

Recently we have installed a IMS system. We have a requirement of changing
all the started task userid for which I was able to do it easily, but there
are some Jobs which generates automatically when the IMS region starts up
for which the OWNER for the JOB is IBMUSER.

Is it possible to change the Ownership of the IMS batch Jobs which starts
automatically when IMS region is Bounced.

Regards,
Jags

Jags,

When you send the same question to more than one newsgroup, it is preferred
you start your message with:

Cross Posting to IBM-MAIN and JES2.

This will reduce the redundancy of multiple answers and posting on the same
question.



What version of z/OS, IMS and what SAF (ACF2, RACF, or Top Secret)?

Could you provide a sample of a generated job? What Owner is it getting
when it is submitted?

You SAF product should be able to assign and owner. If not, then you may
need to code an exit. I think that the owner is assigned at submission, so
there are a couple of places this could be done.

Piling on earlier replies....

It's been a long time, the first think is to find out WHAT is submitting the jobs, I seem to remember that IMS DB might submit log archive jobs, since it's IBMUSER, that might be, look in the IMS config JCL skeletons for places to change.

HOWEVER.... any good IT auditor would have had IBMUSER revoked long ago under the rule that all "known" vendor id's are killed on real systems.
