Job Submission

When Control‑M submits a job, the CTMSE02 Control‑M security module performs a check to verify that the job is submitted with a valid USER parameter in the job statement or a valid //*JOBFROM statement for ACF2/SAF.

If the job statement does not contain a USER parameter or a valid //*JOBFROM statement for ACF2/SAF, the USER parameter (set to the value owner), or a valid //*JOBFROM statement for ACF2/SAF, is added to the job statement, if required.

If the job statement contains a USER parameter or a valid //*JOBFROM statement for ACF2/SAF, the CTMSE02 Control‑M security module either allows or fails the submission of a job, depending on implementation options and the owner authority of the user ID defined for the user who submitted the job specified in the JCL.

In addition, the CTMSE02 security module determines whether the user ID assigned to the Control‑M monitor is authorized to submit jobs on behalf of the user ID assigned to the submitted job. If it is not authorized, the submission fails.
