There are two examples there, one for "objects" and one for "licensed 
programs". The one for objects states "Change the owner to QSYS." The other 
states "Change the owner to QSYS. QSYS MUST be the owner of the QINSTAPP 
program".

However, I don't consider these pages to be documentation any more than I would 
Redbooks. Stuff on those pages is just examples.

AFAIK, the general requirement is that the owning profile should exist on the 
system that executes LODRUN. I'm not totally certain that that's an absolute 
requirement depending on (1) what profile executes LODRUN, (2) what system 
values, etc., are set and (3) what the USRPRF() attribute of QINSTAPP is, i.e., 
*OWNER or *USER.
