I have created a couple of batch jobs and associated tasks to them, they run fine. But one problem is that they run with the account I have used to create the jobs in the first place. I would like to be a system account instead of my personal account (which could be deactivated if I ever leave this place)
I see nowhere to change this. Do I have to change it via an SQL update statement ?
Thanks.
You can log-in as whatever service user you want and setup the batch jobs, or you can use runas(...)
to do it from code easily (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa893873.aspx):
server static public void Main(Args _args)
{
RunAsPermission perm;
UserId runAsUser;
SysUserInfo userInfo;
userInfo = SysUserInfo::find();
runAsUser = userInfo.Id;
perm = new RunAsPermission(runAsUser);
perm.assert();
runAs(runAsUser, classnum(EventJobDueDate), "runDueDateEventsForUser");
CodeAccessPermission::revertAssert();
}
