Optimized Run Mode Processing
- Version 3.5 and earlier: Optimized run mode not available.
- Version 4.0 and later: Optimized run mode available.
In optimized run mode, after pbmasterd has accepted a request, the specified task runs directly on the submit host, without invoking pblocald. This feature enables the administrator to use pbmasterd to validate a command, log the commands that were started in the event log, and log the I/O streams for the secured task. The optimized run mode also reconfirms the password, performs time-out processing, and logs the status.
The following figure illustrates the processing when EPM-UL is running in the optimized run mode:
