GDPS scripts to be executed under auto operators, not the NetView userid that logged on and executed the script

Recently we have had to perform a full GM push of our disks, in some cases this has taken over 17 hours to complete. However our emergency id's (which are the only id's allowed to logon to GDPS) are automatically suspended every 12 hours.

We start the script off using our emergency id's and the script runs happily until the id it is running under gets revoked in RACF, at that point the script stops performing certain functions and only volumes that have already been paired are replicating, any to still be add paired and replicated fail to do so.

The concept/change here is to have the script run under an auto operator so that if the emergency id gets revoked during the script running every still works as was intended when the script was invoked.

    This should be addressed by GDPS 4.7 APARs PH65520/PH65526. Do you have APAR PH65520/PH65526 installed?
