User IDs across systems

 

Platforms other than Windows systems and UNIX systems use uppercase characters for user IDs. To allow Windows systems and UNIX systems to use lowercase user IDs, the following conversions are carried out by the message channel agent (MCA) on these platforms:

At the sending end

The alpha characters in all user IDs are converted to uppercase, if there is no message exit installed.

At the receiving end

The alpha characters in all user IDs are converted to lowercase, if there is no message exit installed.

Note that the automatic conversions are not carried out if you provide a message exit on UNIX systems and Windows systems for any other reason.
