Installing the agent on IBM i with a user different from QSECOFR

You can now install dynamic agents on IBM i with a user different from QSECOFR.

You can now use a user different from QSECOFR to install IBM i agents. In this case, the new allObjAuth parameter is required when running the twsinst command to indicate that the user has the required ALLOBJ authority. Ensure the user is existing and has ALLOBJ authorization. The agent is started after connecting to the system with the TWSUSER or the user defined at installation time.

When you upgrade or uninstall the agent, a check is performed to ensure you are using the same user that performed the installation. If you used allObjAuth parameter at installation time, specify it again when upgrading or uninstalling the agent.

The name of the user used to perform the installation is maintained in the TWA_DATA_DIR/installation/instInfo/instUser file.
