iSeries Navigator - Visual Explain -- MIDRANGE-L

× The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.
If you know of an easy to use, open source, search engine ... please contact support@midrange.com.

After contacting IBM SupportLine about an issue with using the iSeries 
Navigator Visual Explain feature, we were told that a user needed to have 
*JOBCTL special authority in order to use this function.

We only have one i5 server and this server is used to support developers and 
production users. As part of our SOX compliance we have removed *JOBCTL special 
authority from all of our developer profiles. Therefore developers can't use 
Visual Explain now.

Taking away *JOBCTL special authority was easily handled for all the "Work with 
Jobs" commands by having developers use DSP version of these jobs, but the 
issue involving the requirement to have *JOBCTL special authority in  order to 
use Visual Explain remains.

Has anyone on the list run into this problem? If so, have you come up with a 
way to get around this security issue? 

Kenneth
