User IDs checked for batch connections

The user ID checked for a batch connection depends on how the task is run and whether an alternate user ID has been specified.

  • The user ID of a TSO or USS sign-on.
  • The user ID assigned to a batch job.
  • The user ID assigned to a started task by the STARTED class or the started procedures table.
  • The user ID associated with the executing Db2® stored procedure

A Batch job is performing an MQPUT1 to a queue called Q1 with RESLEVEL set to READ and alternate user ID checking turned off.

Checks made at different RACF®(r) access levels for batch connections and User ID checking against profile name for batch connections show that the job user ID is checked against profile hlq.Q1.
