HPE: How to run Visual Inspect on a object belonging to another user id.

To configure a Visual Inspect environment for users to be able to run Visual Inspect as one user id on an object belonging to another id requires a configuration change to the $IMON startup file

1. Find the startup file for the Inspect Monitor ($IMON) process.  This will probably be located in $SYSTEM.STARTUP or some similar subvolume name as STRTIMON or a similar file name.

2. Edit the IMON startup file and add the option "VI^USERIDCHECK^OFF" to the startup string:
 
Syntax:
-------
TACL> IMON/NAME $IMON, NOWAIT, TERM $ZHOME, IN $ZHOME, OUT $ZHOME, CPU <primary-cpu>/<backup-cpu>  VI^USERIDCHECK^OFF

Where <primary-cpu> is the primary CPU number
      <backup-cpu> is the backup CPU number
 
 
Example:
--------
TACL> IMON/NAME $IMON, NOWAIT, TERM $ZHOME, IN $ZHOME, OUT $ZHOME, CPU 0/1 VI^USERIDCHECK^OFF
 
3. Once the change has been made to the IMON startup file, the process $IMON must be stopped, then restarted using the modified startup file for the change to take effect.
