> "needless to say she owns almost everything on the system." Why? I own almost nothing on our systems. My theory is that no physical user should own any objects on the system. I create "owner" profiles to own objects for applications and set OWNER (*GRPPRF) in all of the user profiles. The group profile is NOT the application owner profile and the "owner" profile cannot sign on. This way any user can be deleted with minimal effort. (if they do happen to own something just use DLTUSRPRF USRPRF(yourprf) OWNOBJOPT(*CHGOWN ownerprf) Another big plus to this is that when a programmer comes begging for *ALLOBJ authority you can just add the "owner" profile to theirs as a Supplemental group and they will have the equivalent of *ALLOBJ for their application only. You can also create application SECADM's who can only see their own application's profiles this way. Unfortunately this technique does not work for IFS objects. You will need additional strategies for dealing with these if you have any.

I usually hook the first PSU on the UPS, and the second PSU on a normal, unprotected line. This guards against UPS failures. And of course against a PSU failure. I've been using Dual-PSU's in all my bigger PC servers, and see no reason to not use this practice on the i5. ------------------------------ message: 6 date: Wed, 12 Oct 2005 19:11:39 -0400 from: "Hewitt, Rory" <rory.hewitt@xxxxxx> subject: RE: RE: shared storage across many jobs Elvis, Can you have a single user space which contains pointers to other user spaces? When you need to add job information, you go to the 'primary' user space and run through each of the pointers in there, accessing the related user space (which you treat simply as memory, since you're just using a pointer) and checking for a record in each other user space. In the 'prmary' user space, you'd simply have an array like this: D MainDS DS D Array Dim(10) D UsrSpcPtr * D NbrOfJobs 10I 0 and in the 'secondary' user space you'd have your array of job structures. You'd still only need to use the QUSPTRUS API once to get the pointer to the main user space and then have a loop from there. Of course you'd need to have processing to create more secondary user spaces as needed, but that's not a problem... Another option might be to use a user index - it'll certainly be faster than file I/O, but maybe slower than using one or more user spaces...

The easy thing is changing object ownership. What you won't find is if someone has in a CL program that does a SBMJOB, where they submit it for the IT Mgr for example: SBMJOB CMD(some command) USER(old it mgr profile). This would cause the job not to run if you had deleted the profile after they left. With all that said, I am a firm believer to ALWAYS cleanup after someone leaves, otherwise you just accumulate too much "stuff" on the machine, and no one evers goes back to clean up.

I spent several hours getting an i5 back on line because a PS failed while we were updating the FSP code. Murphy won that one because the customer didn't have redundant power. (They do now!) We configure redundant power on every i5 we propose. - Larry Jerry Draper wrote: >Our BP configured our new i% 520 with a redundant power supply and fan for an >additionsl $1300.
