RE: Differences Between What Ops Nav and WRKACTJOB Is Reporting

["Glenn Birnbaum" <gbirnba@xxxxxxx>]

Mike,

An API can be used to swap the identity of the user a job is running as
(this is common with client connections like ODBC & OLE).  With
WRKACTJOB you see the user that the job started under, but I suspect
that OPS Nav is showing the current identity associated with the job.
If you want to check this theory, compare the same job from WRKACTJOB
and Ops Nav, but under WRKACTJOB, use option 5 to display the job and
then option 1 to see the current user and job user identity.  Is it the
same as what Ops Nav shows?  Let us know what you find.

Glenn

Subject: Differences Between What Ops Nav and WRKACTJOB Is Reporting


Greetings All,

Had a strange experience yesterday in resolving some OneWorld issues.
If I used WRKACTJOB to see the jobs running under the sbs JDEB7333 it
told me that all active jobs in the subsystem were under the user id
ONEWORLD.  When in Ops Nav Active Subsystems, it would show me that
there were several different user ids for the active jobs, one of them
being JDEOE which were causing the problems for us yesterday.  Ops
Navigator is V5R1 with Service Pack SI02795 applied.

Has anyone else noticed this?  Any ideas as to what the difference is
and why?
