Hi Scott

I'll have to dig back through some emails - will get back on this.

I've heard Carol Woodbury recommend doing a setgid instead of swapping
profiles... that way, if your job should crash or something before
swapping back, there's a much lower risk. You're just running with a
different group id, that's all.

I'm surprised when you say that changing the effective UID would be less
intensive vs. swapping profiles. I would've thought these would do
exactly the same thing under the covers? Changing group, yeah, I can
see that being less intensive, but... changing uid? Is that true? Is
it really less resource intensive?

To the swapped-profile idea - I think it was an ISV support person at
IBM who said to change the effective GID or UID of a job - this is just
like swapping profiles, just less intensive. This is done with one or
the other API, qsyseteuid or qsysetegid.
