How Job Submission Works with IBM RACF Enabled

CA XCOM Data Transport supports initiation of jobs from a remote LU through the internal reader. When a job is submitted, CA XCOM Data Transport performs the following actions:

• Validates the user ID and password provided by the remote user.
• Checks for the USER and PASSWORD parameters on the JOB statement. If there are none, CA XCOM Data Transport inserts those specified by the remote user onto the JOB statement. The inserted password is visible only to the security interface and does not appear on any system or job output. Access checking is based on this user ID, not CA XCOM Data Transport's authorization.

Note: If the CA XCOM Data Transport user ID and the user ID on the JOB statement differ, the job runs under the latter's privileges.
