Assigning and Changing Session Ownership
You can assign and change the session ownership by two methods:
• Using the Scheduling Wizard at Creation Time
• Using the Edit Session Properties
Using the Scheduling Wizard at Creation Time
Note The criteria described to configure scheduling a Template can also be configured in the Preferences
dialog box. To do so, on the Active System Manager menu bar, click Window > Preferences >
Scheduler.
To assign the session ownership by using the scheduler wizard, see the “Scheduling Templates” section on
page 11-18. As an administrator, the scheduler wizard allows you to assign session ownership to a different
