That is weird and crazy. Automation software does also submit jobs, ok, let us all unite and stop using automation software! Also stop all JES2 lines, it is 'nefarious' to submit jobs from another system to your system. Ok, above will not work of course. ;-) As a RACF person, I prefer to protect the actual resources, not the methods or 'ports' like SYSIN/INTRDR/FTP/whatever. Whatever jobs are submitted using that INTRDR, FTP, NJE, etc. are carrying the OWNER - RACF determines, by the owner, the access to the actual resources used by that job. Your statement is also similar to auditors mandating the 'protection' of AMAZAP. Rather protect the load libraries (resources) properly. Thanks Bill for your notes. Good to read it.
