  • 1.  ESPmgr and LOCALUSER

    Posted Aug 03, 2015 01:31 AM

    Is there a way to force/specify LOCALUSER during each ESPmgr command ?

     

    We have CA ESP Edition on Mainframe with special character in usernames. So the same cannot defined on the Agent side. Running from another id on agent side passes the LocalUser parm of this id which gets rejected on Mainframe side since its not defined there.

     

    Any workarounds ?

     

    ----------------------------------------

    Also when we run a job from ESP with same ESPmgr command, it works but seems like an extended way of doing a small task.

     

    Related to this,

    what will we use to modify the "scriptname" parm for the unix job definition using ESPmgr. I have tried SET/RESET with SCRIPTNAME, SCRIPT, COMMAND .. all combinations yield no change on the job. In job definition, its defined as example - SCRIPTNAME /abc/exy.sh

    Hello,

     

    For your first question, you may define MAPUSER in AGENTDEF table, more detail can be found under "MAPUSER: Map distributed system user IDs to authorized mainframe user IDs" on "installation and Configuration Guide".

     

    ESP won't process the SCRIPTNAME until the agent wob is ready to be submitted. You can use a variable on SCRIPTNAME, and change the variable value. If you need to change from server by ESPmgr command, you can define the variable in data_object; otherwise you can use global variable and use VSET to change it. Note: they are just some thoughts, for further help, please provide more detail and open a support ticket.

     

    Hope this helps,

    Thanks for the response. I'll look into setting up MAPUSER.
