Is there an alternative to Fnd_Session_API.Impersonate_Fnd_User('IFSAPP') for getting a background job posted via a Custom Event (using Transaction_SYS.Deferred_Call) to actually execute as the application owner (IFSAPP) rather than as the triggering user?

Answer

If only the background job itself needs to run as the app owner (not the whole session), post it using the overloaded Transaction_SYS.Deferred_Call variant that returns the ID of the newly created background job, then directly update the USERNAME column in TRANSACTION_SYS_LOCAL_TAB to the app-owner username (IFSAPP) for that specific job ID. This reassigns just that one background job's execution identity to the app owner without needing to impersonate the user for the whole event/session.

Documentation-based answer. Confirm the product and release before applying it. This answer has not been verified in an IFS environment.
