I would keep the id in place & make it the "Application" owner. Change the user profile so it can't log in. ie. initial program to signoff etc. Change the password, if it is not hard coded somewhere for FTP etc.

You can always change apps piece by piece.

If you don't have an FTP exit point set yet. Get it & use it to log FTP traffic to see if & where this id is being used.

There was an earlier suggestion about simply changing the exiting owner
profile to be the new owner without the reference to the user etc. (Sorry I
can't remember who suggested it)

I think in the case cited here, that is by far and away the best move. At
the very least it would be my choice.

Good point about IFS - no adopting authority over IFS objects.

I believe one doesn't have to go whole-hog on swapping profiles - there is a
change with less impact - changing the UID or GID of the user.

There are a couple APIs for those changes, and someone will have to confirm
this - it's been too long since I looked at this.

DSPPGM shows User profile *OWNER. Now, if you're concerned whether or
not the programs have used recently that will take a little more
looking into. But not much.

Swapping profiles is different than adopting authority. A little more
work to do but adopting authority is a joke when it comes to the
stream file system (aka IFS to those who don't believe that qsys.lib
is part of the IFS).
