Restoring the IBM i Security Data

Restore and recover the following security data:

  • User profiles

  • Authorization lists

  • Authority holders

Procedure

  1. From the CommCell Browser, expand Client Computers > client > File System > defaultBackupSet.

  2. Right-click the subclient and click Browse and Restore.

  3. In the Browse and Restore Options dialog box, click View Content.

  4. From the list of items that appear, select the "*ALL - Security Attributes" under <System Security> objects, and click Recover All Selected.

    The Restore Options dialog box appears.

  5. On the General tab, from the Destination Client list, select the source computer .

  6. Click OK.

    To monitor the progress of the restore job, see Job Controller.

Result

You cannot restore all the security objects when the destination IBM i client is running. The software restores the *ALL "Security objects to a file that is named ALLUSRPRF in the CVLIBOBJ library. You can use this file at a later time to restore the security data to the IBM i client host.

What to Do Next

Restore the security data from the saved file.

Note

Perform the following steps from a valid console. The system will be put in a restricted state for approximately 10-20 minutes.

This command performs the following operations:

  1. Sends an inquiry message to QSYSOPR message queue to acknowledge the restore process. Once the message is acknowledged, IBM i system will go to restricted state.

  2. Restores all the security objects (user profiles, authorization lists and authority holders).

  3. Automatically restarts subsystems after the restore. The processes are the ones in start-up program mentioned in the IBM i system value QSTRUPPGM that do not have the SBSSTART parameter set to *NO.

  4. Deletes the saved file unless the SAVFDEL parameter is set to *NO.

  5. Automatically runs the RSTAUT command at the end of the restore job.

  6. From the console, type the following command:

    CVLIB/CVRSTSECD SAVF(SDXXX) SAVFDEL(*YES) SBSSTART(*YES)

    Where: SDXXX is the saved file name
