Here's the situation: When using OfficeVison for CICS (OV/CICS) with a
DB-2 interface, we were required by IBM to use the AUTH parameter in the
RCT table. This AUTH parm is set to a constant authorization-id
(authid). It is this authid that DB-2 uses to allow OV/CICS to have
access to DB-2's databases.
Here's the problem: Because the authid is a constant value, everybody
who uses OV/CICS appears to be the same user. Hence, when we try to
charge-back the "real" user for his use of OV/CICS and DB-2, all we get is
the one user (which is the hard-coded userid in the AUTH parm).
Here's my question: Has anyone any idea on how to charge the "real" user
of OV/CICS for his real usage (even though the authid is hard-coded)?
FYI...IBM doesn't have a solution for this.
TIA!
Regards, Jack.
