RE: Subject: "Renaming" a user profile

I would also be a little hesitant of deleting an existing profile if it
is a high level user - such as a SECAMN or SECOFR - a lot of hidden
hooks to be considered -

This is a good idea, but remember to do it with your system in
restricted state (or at least quiesced), otherwise any owned object in
use will not be changed and the delete will fail.

what a copy of a user profile would do for you, either.  Might be

worth

looking at.

Subject: "Renaming" a user profile

Okay, as far as I know there is no way to rename a user profile.  If I
wanted to do the equivalent, I would have to create a new user profile
just like the old owner profile, and then move all objects owned by

the

one profile to the new profile.  I'd also have to make sure that any
*AUTLs the original profile existed in now had the new profile.

Any other steps?  Has anybody ever automated this process and want to
share some hints?  The more I look at it, the more difficult it looks.
