Im sorry, but I have to completely disagree. The situation here is NOT the fact that an automated, tested job requires access, but you want to create unrestricted access to a computer, (AS/400 or whatever). Every place I've worked at , financial, manufacturing etc, the auditors would drag me into their office and demand what the hell I was thinking of. And I quote, "Any type of access REQUIRES some type of key to get in.Period end of story. end of discussion". End quote. Believe me, been there, TRIED to do that (Failed miserably). >>> "Ed Chabot" <echabot@marlinfirearms.com> 04/10/01 09:34AM >>> Alan, In this case, the job runs on a server that is behind the firewall in the computer room. Security is not an issue. Because the job runs 4 times a day, every day, as an automated, tested job there is no good reason to have to sign on each time it runs. The time it takes is not the issue but more the inconvenience of having to interact with an "automated" job.

If the sign-on with a valid usercode AND password is bypassed, what are you opening yourself up for? So a person has to take time out to remember to sign-on, a total of 20 to 40 seconds at most. Compare this to the time it would take to rectify a vicious hackers work, after he/she had finished playing with YOUR system. Then answering YOUR boss why you thought saving 20 to 40 seconds, 4 times a day was a good idea. >>> "Mark A.

Might I ask you this, why ODBC, can you FTP the file; which when done "properly" can bypass the the userID and password issue for a "batch" process. HTH Mark A.

We have a time and attendance job that uploads punches to our AS/400 (V4R4) four times a day. We have to enter the password each time the job runs. It seems that there should be an option to enter this once and then let the job run on auto-pilot, but we haven't found it. Maybe there's a patch? Any help is appreciated.
