Using Initiator User Profile Facility

Using the platform server user profile facility requires only two steps.

Procedure

  1. Define a remote user ID/password combination for a particular node.
    For more information, see Managing User Profiles.
  2. In the platform server batch interface, specify the remote user ID as *PROFILE using the following command.
    REMOTE_USER=*PROFILE
    Optionally, in the platform server ISPF panels, specify the remote user ID as *PROFILE.
    When the platform server started task detects a remote user ID defined as *PROFILE, it scans the user profile data space for a match on the following information:
    • Local user ID of the user that submitted the transfer request
    • Node name, IP address, IP name, or list name

    If a match is found, the platform server substitutes the user ID/password defined in the user profile for the user ID/password defined in file transfer queue record.

    If no match is found, the platform server terminates the queue record with a return code, and a message is returned to you that submitted the file transfer request.
    Note: *PROFILE is the default profile for the REXX interface when the REMOTE_USER (RUSER) parameter is not defined.
