Submission User and Method

Batch jobs track submisssion details using the following attributes.

The Submission User indicates who initiated the batch job and may differ from the batch user who controls permissions and auditing during the actual execution of the job. This value is not populated for timed batch jobs or batch jobs submitted via a scheduler.

The Submission Method indicates how the batch job was initiated. Valid methods include:

• Online - populated when a user manually creates or manually duplicates a batch job submission.

• Generated - populated by algorithms that submit a batch job and by 'initiator' batch jobs that submit other batch jobs.

• Scheduled - populated by the DBMS scheduler.  Note that for other schedulers, it is not advised to use this value as there may be logic and validation related to records created with this value that may not apply to other schedulers.

• Timed - populated by the batch daemon that submits timed batch jobs.

• Other - populated when no other value is provided.

Additional values may be added by your implementation. Refer to the lookup SUBMIT_​METH_​FLG for a list of the submission methods supported by your system.
