The submission from VM to z/OS works via JES NJE processing, and your administrator would setup NODES profiles to accept jobs from the VM node and to translate your submitting ID into the appropriate execution ID. >...snipped... >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. Sorry, we do not have anything like that. However, z/OS UNIX System Services provides an aliasing capability that may help you in such situations. -- Walt Farrell, CISSP IBM STSM, z/OS Security Design ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
