Assign ACIDs to Batch Jobs Not Submitted Online

The information in this section applies to all jobs that are submitted in a BYPASS environment, from a non‑CA Top Secret node, or through an external reader. In all of these cases, an ACID must be assigned to the batch job.

There are several different methods for assigning an ACID to a batch job being run from a physical reader, RJE, or non‑CA Top Secret secured NJE node. The method you select applies to all batch jobs. The processing order for a given batch job follows the sequence in which the methods are listed below.

Note: Once an ACID is assigned, the rest of the methods are skipped.

• An ACID is assigned by hardcoding it on the job card using the USER= parameter.
• An ACID is assigned by propagating the submitting userid, if the job enters the system via NJE and if the results of the NODES resource check allows propagation.
• An ACID is assigned using the JOBACID control option.
• The global default is used as the ACID. (In certain cases, the job source can be used as the ACID.)
