RE: Technical and Philosophy

Do you want to restrict the users from the iSeries altogether or just
from the DB files?

If you want to lock all users out of the iSeries after 7:00 pm, you can
end the interactive subsystem.  This is usually QINTER and you can run a
job at 7:00 pm to end the subsystem.  (ENDSBS QINTER)  With a second job
to start it when they are allowed back in. (STRSBS QINTER)

This may be over kill if you only have a select few files that you need
to restrict access to.  Are you restricting access for backup or batch
processing?  If so, there are other less restrictive ways.

I'm new to at the Iseries world and I need some help both, technical and
philosophical.

 

I need to keep users out of my files after 7:00 PM.  Someone has
suggested that we allocate the files and that would keep the users out.
Another suggestion was that we secure the users out by disabling the
user profiles.

 

Which approach would be best/easiest?
