Job-submit exit
The job-submit exit is called when HCL Workload Automation for Z is about to submit a batch job or start a started-task. A common use for this exit is to assign a submitting user ID. If you do not alter the submitting user ID, all jobs submitted by HCL Workload Automation for Z are, by default, performed under the user ID of the HCL Workload Automation for Z address space that performs the submission.
Security
is often performed through the RUSER field, but you can
also use the exit to build a LOGONID card if your installation standards
require this. You can determine the submitting user from a variety
of sources. These include:
- Job name specified in the JCL
- Job accounting information
- Programmer name field
- Occurrence owner ID
- Occurrence authority group ID.
