How Job Submission Works with CA ACF2 Enabled

At times the CA XCOM Data Transport started task submits jobs into the z/OS system. For example, a remote personal system running CA XCOM Data Transport for Windows might submit a job for execution on this z/OS system. For proper security checking in these situations, CA XCOM Data Transport must be assigned MUSASS and JOBFROM privileges. Then it can build and insert the JOBFROM control card into each job stream submitted on behalf of the user. This allows those jobs to inherit the specified user ID/password and the source information of the user who requested the submission. Consequently, job submission control and accountability can be enforced by CA ACF2.

CA XCOM Data Transport builds the JOBFROM card in the following format:

//*JOBFROM userID/luname
luname

Specifies the LU name of the node from which the user initiated the send job file transfer.

userID

Specifies the CA XCOM Data Transport user ID specified by the user that initiated the request.
