Fix Recommendation

Configure each batch job userid used for batch submission by a Job Scheduler (e.g., CONTROL-M, CA-7, CA-Scheduler, etc.) is defined as an execution-userid in a SURROGAT resource class profile. For example:

RDEFINE SURROGAT execution-userid.SUBMIT UACC(NONE)
OWNER(execution-userid)

Configure Job Scheduler userids (i.e., surrogate-userid) are permitted surrogate authority to the appropriate SURROGAT profiles. For example:

PERMIT execution-userid.SUBMIT CLASS(SURROGAT)
ID(surrogate-userid) ACCESS(READ)

Check Contents

Refer to the documentation of the processes used for submission of batch jobs via an automated process (i.e., scheduler or other sources) and each of the associated userids. Determine any other scheduled batch jobs on the system.

From an ISPF Command Shell enter:
RLIST SURROGAT *

If each batch job userid used for batch submission by a Job Scheduler (e.g., CONTROL-M, CA-7, CA-Scheduler, etc.) is defined as an execution-userid in a SURROGAT resource class profile, this is not a finding.

From an ISPF Command Shell enter:
RLIST SURROGAT <surrogat-userid> ALL

If the Job Scheduler userids (i.e., surrogate-userid) are permitted surrogate authority to the appropriate SURROGAT profiles, this is not a finding.
