Is it Recommended to End Date SYSADMIN Application User?

Goal

Is it recommended to end-date the SYSADMIN Application User?

Solution

No, it is strongly recommended not to end date the SYSADMIN application user.

Known effects :

• The SYSADMIN account has several seeded jobs which you need to run under a different account.
• The script adcmctl.sh uses SYSADMIN for CONCSUB calls.
• Many scripts in patches uses SYSADMIN for loader permissions, so you should reactivate the account before patching.
• If you have workflow setup with sysadmin as administrator, you need to reset the administrator to other application user.
