SWGUID
SWGUID={ YES | NO }
specifies if switching of Guardian user IDs (GUIDs) is allowed when a user creates
a Guardian process using either the PROGRUN or OPSYS SEND command.
When a user creates a Guardian process using either the PROGRUN or OPSYS
SEND command, the process executes under a GUID. The PARAM SWGUID
command determines whether the process executes under the GUID of the user
creating the process or the GUID of NonStop NET/MASTER MS.
YES
allows switching of GUIDs. If a user creates a Guardian process using either
the PROGRUN or OPSYS SEND command, the process is allocated the current
GUID of the user creating the process.
NO
disallows switching of GUIDs. If a user creates a Guardian process using
either the PROGRUN or OPSYS SEND command, the process is allocated the
GUID of NonStop NET/MASTER MS.
Considerations
DSNM utility commands are used to start and terminate an interactive session
with a Guardian utility. See the OPSYS command for more information on DSNM
utility commands.
A GUID is a two-part ID, consisting of a group ID and a user ID, that defines a
user to the operating system.
The setting of the PARAM SWGUID startup parameter does not affect whether
you can use the PROFILE GUID command to switch from one GUID to another, if
you have more than one GUID defined in your user ID definition record.
GUIDs are allocated to a user in the user ID definition record for that user. The
field in User ID Management Services (UMS) that defines GUIDs is the Guardian
ID field. A user who has more than one GUID can use the PROFILE GUID
command to switch from one GUID to another. A user ID definition record can
specify a maximum of eight different GUIDs. If you change your GUID, you must
specify a GUID that matches one in your user ID definition record.
Examples
1. The following example allows switching of GUIDs:
PARAM SWGUID=YES
2. The following example disallows switching of GUIDs:
