Configuring the Agent › Define a Default User ID

Define a Default User ID

To run a job under a user ID, you usually specify the user ID in the job definition. You can also define a default user ID in the agentparm.txt file so that all jobs on the agent computer run under the default user ID. If another user ID is specified in the job definition, the agent ignores the default user value and the job runs under the user ID specified in the job definition.

To define a default user ID

1. Open a PASE terminal session.
2. Change to the agent installation directory.
3. Enter the following command to stop the agent:

   ./cybAgent -s
   

4. Open the agentparm.txt file.
5. Enter a value for the following parameter:

   oscomponent.default.user

   Specifies the default user ID.

6. Save and close the agentparm.txt file.
7. Start the subsystem that runs the agent if it has stopped.
8. Enter the following command:

   ./cybAgent
   

   The agent starts running. The default user ID is defined.

Note: Unlike user IDs you specify in job definitions, you do not need to define the default user ID on on the scheduling manager. However, if the same user ID is used in a job definition, you must define the user ID on the scheduling manager.
