Re: Save date of user profile Was: QSYSOPR user profile and GO SAVE 21

Hi Mike

Presumably this means a SAVSECDTA has not been run.

If you do a GO BACKUP and then take the option to change the Backup
options, page down and see if the "Security data" option has been set
to "Y" on any of them. I'm kinda betting it hasn't been. That or you
don't actually run the backup option it has been set for.

FWIW I have always hated the GO BACKUP option and avoid or get rid of
it wherever possible.

So the QSYSOPR and go save 21 conversation made me curious. My user profile shows:
Save/Restore information:
  Save date/time . . . . . . . . . . . :   12/17/11  01:40:35
  Restore date/time  . . . . . . . . . :   12/17/11  02:10:00
  Save command . . . . . . . . . . . . :   SAVSECDTA


Profiles created since the conversion (12/17/11) have blanks for both save and restore.


We use RUNBCKUP to do our backup and the report shows:

 Backup       Backup           Tape     Security
 Date         Options          Set      Data
 06/13/12     Daily            *ANY     Yes


The data area QSAVUSRPRF is blank. The save/restore information from display object description shows:

Save date/time . . . . . . . . . . . :   06/13/12  02:44:38
Restore date/time  . . . . . . . . . :
Save command . . . . . . . . . . . . :   SAVSECDTA


Is that the only place we can see the save date of a user profile? How do we know that a user profile has been backed up?


"Trust me?"

My guess is we would compare the save date/time of QSAVUSRPRF with the create date of the user profile? Is that correct?
