STREAM

The STREAM command processes a stream file for password insertion, then streams the jobs. If the

file contains scheduling information, those jobs will be streamed with their original scheduling

information unless the

NOSCHED parameter is specified.

Password processing is subject to MPE security restraints. Passwords will be automatically inserted

into a job only if the user executing the

STREAM command has enough capability to access the

passwords through other means. In other words,

SM capability is required to stream jobs for every

user on the system. However,

AM capability is sufficient to stream jobs for the user’s account only.

If the user does not possess the required security, passwords will be prompted for as each job is

processed. If after three attempts the password is still invalid, the entire job will be skipped and not

streamed. The

NOPASS parameter prevents any automatic password insertion. This is used if the

file being streamed already contains the correct passwords.

The

STREAM command assumes that jobs start with either the

characters. Imbedded jobs do

not follow this restriction. The

JOB commands may not be broken into two or more lines before the

end of the user information. For example, the following is valid:

:JOB USER,MGR.TELESUP,PUB &

: ;HIPRI

The following is not valid:

:JOB STUFF,&

: MANAGER.SYS
