restrict access to job

[dsrules]

Hii,
How would you restrict read and write access to a job for other users and give the privileges to only the user who created it.
Thanks!!!!!

All DataStage developers typically are a member of the GID (Group ID) of dsadm....and they may have a sub-group within to categorize them....

So for a Project you would set the permissions to be one GID and the second Project to be another GID....But Jobs within a project is difficult since permissions are at the Project level.....

It's the old check in/check out complaint, DataStage doesn't have it, trying to build it in via permissions could have more drawbacks then benefits.

Your developers could put an annotation on the job canvas telling other developers that it isn't finished yet and they should keep their hands off. You could also put in some folders that indicate what stage the job is at, when the job is finished the developer moves it to another folder.

You should also ensure it is only modifiable in the source development project and when delivered to test and prod environments it is read only.
