IBM Power Ideas Portal


This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Power Systems products, including IBM i. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).


Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:

Search existing ideas

Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,

  1. Post an idea.

Provide CHGSPLFA API and include SPOOLED FILE OWNER User Profile

SPOOLED Files have 3 user profiles associated with them:

1. The User Profile under which the Job that created the SPOOLED file was running ("job user").
2. The Creator User Profile
3. The SPOOLED File Owner

Currently none of these three attributes may be changed after the SPOOLED file is created. 
The only way to simulate changing them is to duplicate the SPOOLED file using various techniques.

I'm asking that the SPOOLED FILE OWNER User Profile be added to both the existing CHGSPLFA CL command and a new QUSCSPLA (Change SPOOLED File Attributes) API that also does allows changing all the stuff from the CHGSPLFA CL command.

    IBM will use this Idea as input to planning, but no commitment is made or implied. This Idea will be updated in the future if IBM implements it. IBM will use votes and comments from others in the community to help prioritize this Idea.
