  • 1.  Taking ownership of a schedule - revert to original owner comment

    Hi all,  

    this support page: Taking ownership of a schedule - IBM Documentation describes how a schedule can be changed ti use another persons credentials. The bit I am puzzled by is the comment at the end of the page tha"t says

    "The schedule is updated with the changes you made. The schedule's credentials change back to the original owner as soon as you exit the session."

    My testing seems to show that the schedule credentials don't revert back to the original owner.

    And as always with documentation, and English being such an ambiguous language, what is meant by the original owner? Does it mean the owner of the report being scheduled? Does it mean the current owner of the report rather than the original owner, after all you can take ownership of a report.  

    Anyone have any experience of this credentials reverting back to the original owner?

    Hi,

    We have used this feature of change credentials and the change is permanent, don't revert after session ends.
