RE: RstUsrPrf in a Disaster Recovery

If you are doing a SAVSECDTA every night, you could use one of those
save tapes to do your RSTUSRPRF.  I agree with another poster that
having a few extra profiles on the system is a far easier thing to clean
up than getting the restore steps out of order.

Start with the RSTUSRPRF.  Use the best SAVSECDTA or SAVSYS tapes that
you have to accomplish this, but you really, really want to do this
first.  
Then restore your other objects as Scott suggested (RSTCFG, RSTLIB,
RSTDLO (if you Care) RST, etc).
Then do the RSTAUT last.  The very last thing you do before you turn
users loose on the system.  

If you don't do RSTUSRPRF first and RSTAUT last, you will almost
certainly get your security scheme hopelessly balled up.

HTH,
