Clustering Enhancements for IBM i 7.5 TR 1 and IBM i 7.4 TR 7

More user profile attributes are synchronized

To make it easier for system administrators to ensure their user profiles are the same on multiple nodes, the Cluster Administrative Domain is enhanced to synchronize more attributes for user profiles: MAXSIGN, OBJAUD, and AUDLVL.  The MAXSIGN attribute is new in 7.5 and can be set by the CRTUSRPRF or CHGUSRPRF command. The OBJAUD and AUDLVL attributes are set by the CHGUSRAUD command, which requires *AUDIT special authority. Any user profiles that currently monitor all attributes automatically monitor the new attributes when the whole cluster is at modification level 9, or later.

Currently, Cluster Administrative Domain submits jobs that use default SBMJOB parameters to delete certain monitored resources. There are problem situations that might occur from use of those default parameters. For instance, the job queue associated with the job description for the user profile might be held, or the subsystem might not be started, or one or more of the libraries in the initial library list might be in an independent ASP that might not be available on that node, or the initial ASP group is specified but the ASP group might not be available. To prevent these problem situations, the Cluster Administrative Domain is now enhanced to use QSYSNOMAX for the job queue, along with INLLIBL(*NONE) and INLASPGRP(*NONE), in order to submit a job to delete monitored resources.
