Users must demonstrate their authorization to initiate follow-up processing by specifying a PROCESSING-ADMISSION. If the PROCESSING-ADMISSION is not explicitly specified, the data are taken from the TRANSFER-ADMISSION for the PROCESSING-ADMISSION. In the case of follow-up processing, the parameters USER-ID, ACCOUNT and
PASSWORD must be explicitly assigned a value in one of the two ADMISSIONs. When FTAC is used, the data for the PROCESSING-ADMISSION can also be specified in an admission profile.
The authorization to initiate follow-up processing is checked by openFT.
The description given in "section “Checking the transfer admission”" applies when the authorization to initiate follow-up processing is checked by openFT.
A special case of follow-up processing under openFT is the character string
"ALLOC DSNAME(...)". This special openFT statement is used to specify the name of a cataloged PS data set or the name of a member of a cataloged PO or PDSE data set containing a complete executable job.
openFT starts this job within follow-up processing via the Internal Reader. In this case, openFT does not generate any additional job control statements. In this way, it is possible to execute follow-up processing jobs with user-specific job parameters.
In this special case:
openFT checks the access authorization of the user to this file on the basis of the data in the PROCESSING-ADMISSION. This transfer admission check is always performed after successful checking of the authorization for initiating follow-up processing.
However, openFT does not check the values for user ID, account number and password specified in this PS data set or in this member. In order to prevent users from accessing the system unchecked, you are therefore recommended to use openFT-AC.
