To preserve accountability of each individual user, the security administrator will be able to disallow cross streaming. This prevents a person without SM or AM (of the appropriate account ) from streaming jobs that log on as another person.

The Cross Streaming Authorization Option

Since these rules may be too restrictive in some situations, an exception to the rule is provided in the form of the Cross Streaming Authorization option. If your system manager has selected this option, it allows limited cross streaming on certain protected jobs.

A protected job is defined as a job that is streamed from a permanent file and logs on to the same user as the creator of the file. The job is protected in the sense that the job owner (user accountable for the job) also controls the file (as its creator).

A user, other than the System Manager, Account Manager, and the job owner, is authorized to stream a protected job when:

  1. The user has EXECUTE access to the job file, and

  2. The security administrator has enabled the Cross Streaming Authorization feature.

When a job submission attempt violates the cross streaming restriction, the following error message is returned to the user:

   CROSS STREAMING IS DISALLOWED. JOB STREAM ATTEMPT FAILED

   (CIERR 1440).
