Userid

Identifies the user ID under whose set of resource access privileges the transfer is to execute on the local system.

The primary use of this parameter is for third‑party processing for three dispersed systems A, B, and C. The A user requests that B process a file, job, or report transfer with C. While A initiates the transfer request, the transfer ensues between B (the sending system) and C (the receiving system). For example, a CA XCOM Data Transport node in New York could request that a CA XCOM Data Transport node in Los Angeles send a file to a CA XCOM Data Transport node in Chicago.

To use this feature, all systems must be identified to VTAM and running CA XCOM Data Transport Version 2 or higher. For conventional (that is, non‑third‑party) transfers, this parameter is used to identify the user that initiated the transfer. This is useful when performing operator tracking and control functions through the XCOM Operator Control screens.

Enter up to eight characters.

Note: This parameter is ignored by the local security software system.

Default: None
