SAVAUTL SAVE AUTHORIZATION LIST DATA TAASECZ |
When an object is restored to a different system that is authorized
to an authorization list, the object does not automatically become
authorized to the authorization list even if the authorization list
exists on the second system. You must either:
** Ensure the authorization list exists and restore with
ALWOBJDIF(*ALL) or:
** Ensure the authorization list exists and re-grant the
authorization on the second system.
Any authorizations made to the list are not transferred to the second
system other than the owner and *PUBLIC user.
The Save Authorization List Data tool and the companion tool RSTAUTL
provide an alternative solution for this situation. The tools allow
the simple transfer of the authorization list structure.
A typical SAVAUTL command would be:
SAVAUTL AUTL(xxx) LIB(yyy)
A listing would be output to the spooled file AUTHORIZED with a list
by library of the objects that are authorized.
The AUTL parameter allows a maximum of 40 entries. A specific
authorization list may be named, a generic name or the special value
*ALL for all authorization lists.
The library must not exist. It will be created with three data base
files:
** A list of the authorization lists you specified.
** A list of the objects that are authorized to the list on your
system.
** A list of the users who are authorized to the authorization
list.
You then save the library that has been created and the objects that
you want to restore to the second system. You would use a normal
SAVLIB command for the library specified on SAVAUTL and either SAVLIB
or SAVOBJ for your objects.
You then restore the SAVAUTL library on a second system and use the
RSTAUTL tool (2 different commands) to:
** Ensure the authorization lists exist (if not, they are
created).
** Authorize the users that were on the list of the first system
to be on the list of the second system. An option exists to
make the lists the same, ignore any authorizations, or only
add new users.
** Re-grant the objects that were authorized to the lists.
See the specific steps described for the RSTAUTL tool.
One of the advantages of SAVAUTL/RSTAUTL is that the major steps do
not have to be followed in the exact order. For example, if you have
already restored your objects on a second system and realize that the
authorization structure is now incorrect (e.g. the authorization
lists did not exist or you forgot to specify ALWOBJDIF), you can
recover by using SAVAUTL/RSTAUTL.
Summary of the steps (normal procedure)
---------------------------------------
** Use the SAVAUTL command for the desired authorization lists:
SAVAUTL AUTL(xxx) LIB(yyy)
** Save the library that was created by SAVAUTL:
SAVLIB LIB(xxx) ...
** Save the objects you want to move to the second system. You
can save objects that are not authorized to the authorization
list at the same time.
SAVLIB (or SAVOBJ) ...
** Restore to the second system.
** Follow the instructions for the RSTAUTL tool.
Command parameters *CMD
------------------
AUTL A list of up to 40 entries. A specific
authorization list, a generic name, or the special
value *ALL (all authorization lists) may be
specified.
LIB The library where the data files will be created
that will be restored on a second system for the
RSTAUTL tool use. The library must not exist. It
will be created for you. If an error occurs when
creating the data for the library, the library will
be automatically deleted.
Restrictions
------------
None.
Prerequisites
-------------
The following TAA Tools must be on your system:
EDTVAR Edit variable
EXTLST Extract list
RTVDOCOBJ Retrieve document object
SNDCOMPMSG Send completion message

Implementation
--------------
None, the tool is ready to use.
