jcs.setuser

on-site-related topic PL/SQL API jcs.setuser

Summary

Override the requestor for whom jobs are to be submitted.

After jcs.setuser is called, authorization is not validated until you call jcs.setpassword or jcs.use_known_password or are identified externally.

This procedure should only be used in very specific instances where other users need to be IMPERSONATED. Under no circumstances should you call this by default! The result would be that you inadvertently submit jobs as different users with different privileges.

       jcs.setuser('MIKE');
       jcs.setpassword('SANTACLAUS');

       ...
