Batch job that will signon and interactive session on DSP01 as QSECOFR

[jmoreno@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello List Members -

My question is pretty simple and it has to do with a Batch Job been able to
"somehow"
signon to an interactive session on DSP01 (System Console) directly
attached to the iSeries (AS/400)
with the user profile of QSECOFR

And the reason for this requirement . . . : "Weekly unattended backup of
the entire machine"
That includes Save of System, Save of *NONSYS Libraries, Save of
Configuration data,
Save of Security data, Save of Folders, Save of IFS, Save of Licensed
Programs.

I know of some vendors that can be of help. However budget restrictions do
not allow that to happen.

Here are a list of the case scenarios I have been able to consider.


Case 1.
I know that a break message handler program will work if the DSP01
"interactive session"
has already been established with the profile of QSECOFR.

Case 2.
I think if there is a different DSP01 "interactive session"  with a user
profile different to QSECOFR.
Probably thru one of the Security APIs I can change that and I am back to
case 1.

Case 3.
There are no "interactive sessions" at all

Your ideas will be appreciated.
