Re: SAVRSTxxx

[pytel@xxxxxxxxxx]

SAVRSTxxx uses APPC security *SAME.
To make it work you have to define remote LU as SECURE LOCATION.
When using APPN, it is configured in *APPNRMT configuration list. When using
plane APPC, it is configured in APPC device description.
For better security you can configure location password, which will be verified
during session setup.
With this setup SAVRSTxxx will run on remote system under the same profile as on
source system (profile should exist on both systems with the same password).

Also make sure that QCMN susbsystem has communication entry:
                    Job                  Default        Max
 Device        Mode      Description     Library        User           Active
 *APPC         QSOCCT    *USRPRF              QUSER          *NOMAX

The original design of the SAVRSTxxx commands got corrupted with changes to
the default authority of the RSTxxx commands.

Originally (when this stuff was designed) just about anyone could restore
anything.  Now you need *ALLOBJ authority to restore something (which is a
pain in the ass).  So when I use these commands, I sign on with a profile
(available on both systems) that has *ALLOBJ authority.

IMHO, IBM is requiring *ALLOBJ for too many things.  This causes too many
users to assign themselves *ALLOBJ authority, which defeats the whole
purpose of security in the first place.
