Defining user IDs and passwords with the USRREC statement

Use the USRREC initialization statement to define the passwords for the users who need to schedule jobs to run on Windows workstations. You do not need to do this if you run native job types on non-Windows workstations.

If you run job types with advanced options (database, file transfer, web service, xajob, J2EE jms) you can use USSREC regardless of the operating system. The advantage of doing this is that you do not have to hard code the password in the job definition as it will be retrieved from the HCL Workload Automation for Z database at run time.

If the statement is very long and needs to be split into two lines, use the comma (,) as a continuation character to continue the string to the next line.

USRREC is defined in the member of the EQQPARM library specified by the USRMEM keyword in the HTTPOPTS statement.

You can make changes to the USRREC statement while HCL Workload Automation for Z is running. To make them immediately effective, without stopping and restarting the controller, enter the following MODIFY operator command:
/F procname,RFRUSER
where procname is the HCL Workload Automation for Z JCL procedure name.

For more information about the MODIFY command, see Modifying the scheduler. For more information about the USRREC statement, see USRREC.
