How to execute BODS job using a service account like SVC* instead of using SYSTEM account?

[former_member655569]

We are trying execute a job that reads data from a file located in network drive. It is throwing access issue - unable to open the file.

We saw that job is running with SYSTEM as user instead of service account SVC*.

how do we change the job server configuration to run the job with service account?

Hello

Data Services executes all processes as the user configured for the Job Service service (I assume you're running on Windows).  Change this user to any user you prefer.  Typically a service account with permissions to access all the required resources is used.
