Hi all,

Can someone confirm if the OPENS with maestro does or doesn't follow MPE 
security routines ?

Let me try and explain.

I've a schedule ( or 3 ) that performs an OPENS of a file outside the CCC 
account. Now what I thought was Maestro just checks for the existence of 
the file, checking the manual it says :

"Maestro checks for the existence of the file, and exclusive read access, to 
satisfy the file dependency"

Thing is does maestro try opening the file or just checking that no one else is 
accessing it ? If it's across accounts then the normal file / group / account 
security could stop it unless the file is released or granted the ANY access. If 
it just checks for the existence and if anyone is accessing then that could be 
performed without hitting the security violation.

Reason I'm asking is these schedules don't appear to have anything special 
apart from the OPENS of this cross account file, thing is they aren't running 
automatically unless they are released ( schedules that is not the OPENS 
trigger files ).  

Any ideas anyone ?

TIA.

Nige...
