General Information

OWNER is used by the internal security mechanism of Control-M/Analyzer to determine those operations that each user is authorized to perform.

The OWNER parameter is also used to enable more convenient handling of missions and rules. When using the Online Tracking and Control facility, you can limit the display of Control-M/Analyzer information to specified owners.

OWNER is used in interactions with external security products, such as TOP SECRET, RACF, and ACF2.

The value of the OWNER parameter is based on the method of Control-M/Analyzer invocation:

• Direct invocation by a job step or program

  The OWNER is specified on the Rule Definition screen by the creator of the rule.

• Invocation by mission

  The OWNER receives its value from the mission definition.

• Invocation by other INCONTROL products

  When the rule is called by the DO CTBRULE statement in Control-M, Control-D, or Control-V, OWNER receives its value from the Control-M job scheduling definition, or the Control-D or Control-V decollating mission.
