Switch user within a pattern?

Henrik Jutterst · ‎05-10-2020

I'm creating a pattern for Oracle Database Catalogs and I have a user account that's running Discovery (disco-user). This user however can not access such as Catalot name. That information is available for the user oracle-user.

My question is, if it's possible to switch user from disco-user to oracle-user within a pattern using Linux su-command?

Ideally I'd have all access on disco-user, but what are the alternatives here, and are there any alternatives?

Hi and sorry for not answering earlier.

Apperently this switch and unswitch user have some issues and there is a KB article on that. https://hi.service-now.com/kb_view.do?sysparm_article=KB0852200

Doing what is suggested in this article helped me and it did change user. But I need to run the file using sudo -u <user> <filename> and that seems to be an issue as far as I know.

So the above KB article does NOT switch user as I wanted but it did change the user.
