4492.0. "VMS Accounts and Export Control" by PHDVAX::PICCOLO (Al Piccolo - Services) Wed Feb 03 1993 10:51

    
    I can't control (start, stop, resume, suspend, etc.) exporting unless
    I'm logged into the same VMS account as the process running the
    exporting background. 
    
    It doesn't seem to make any difference whether it's the VMS account
    which owns the database file or the account appearing in the export
    file's Rdb ACL's. So long as the account I'm using is the one that I
    used when I started the background process and I can access the Rdb
    file (RW) then I can control exporting. Attempts to do an export
    operations (e.g., start or stop) from any other account (regardless of
    privilege) fails with an error message indicating that the background
    proess is not set up (inspite of the fact that the process is still
    running).
    
    How can I get around this restriction? I would like to be able to
    control exporting (and other MCC operations) from any account with a
    given rights_identifier.

4492.1Use account from the same UIC groupTOOK::SHMUYLOVICHWed Feb 03 1993 15:005
    
    The background process uses a group wide lock.
    So you should be able to control exportings (and recordings) from any
    account in the same UIC group as the account which has been used to
    start exporting (recording) and to start the background process.
