BPCS Object Ownership

[MacWheel99@xxxxxxx]

Check out today's MIDRANGE_L archive threads on

Authority Issue &
listing of objects and their owners

This revealed a possible risk of objects being created in BPCS libraries that
should belong to the group, but in fact do not, and one possible cause of
this is an error is adopted authority settings.

I tried WRKOBJ *ALL objects of OBJTYPE(*AUTL) which identifies all objects
that are controlled by an authority list & we have a bunch ... some IBM
objects whose function I not yet know, *TEST, Conversion, and main source
code.

My question is whether native BPCS 405 CD is supposed to have any authority
lists.

My suspicion is that some outside consultants messed with some of our stuff
in error, I not want to point any fingers, I just want to fix it if it is not
supposed to be there.

I had occasion recently to restore BPCS files from our backup, thanks to an
oops with a new program to clean out a few hundred thousand records coded for
deletion, that do not go away with any vanilla action & I printed audit trail
just in case ... lo & behold, there are several objects that do not belong to
SSA ... I am pretty sure I know how that happened & I will fix the objects I
know about.
