DS User credential on Windows

When we run a DS job on Windows via DS Scheduler, what user ID does it use? Is it the user ID by which it was compiled last?

Say my DS job, is running on a Windows VM A and want to write a file to another VM B or to a shared drive, how do I make sure that it has appropriate permission to do so?

with the one mapped to the one used to schedule the job.

I added the VM A as an administrator on VM B and it worked!

Thanks.

See this for an explanation - http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.w ... wg21567190

You can also set the user for scheduled jobs directly in the Windows Task Scheduler - it's the AT Service Account Configuration setting.

When you run a job through the Designer or Director, it executes as the user to which your account is mapped under Engine Credential in the Admin web console.
