Re: RSTLICPGM

Hi Jerry,

Maybe they mean you should do that to prevent whoever does the install from installing something he shouldn't? I've always done individual licpgm installs from GO LICPGM option 11, which I think you can only do with *Secofr anyway, but I've never changed my profile to do it....

cheers,

Clare

I am trying to install 5733-SC1 (Portable Utilities for is/OS). Having
never installed a licensed program outside of a release upgrade or
install, I RTFM (InfoCenter in this case: http://tinyurl.com/29szj8).


I do not fully understand why, but the generic instructions for
RSTLICPGM say that for security reasons it should not be run by someone
with *ALLOBJ authority. Rather one is supposed to use a profile without
all object authority, create a CL that adopts authority.


I created a user profile for the purpose and a CL while signed on as
QSECOFR, and then granted the profile use of the program. I.e.,
CRTCLPGM with USRPRF(*OWNER) AUT(*EXCLUDE) followed by GRTOBJAUT USER(


But I keep getting error CPF3D96 (Objects for product not restored).
The joblog indicates that, previously, error CPFA09C was issued: Not
authorized to object. The object is /QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/SC1.


I checked the permissions and *Public has complete access to the
QOpenSys folder but only Read and Execute authority to the subfolders.


So, aside from getting up this morning and reading the (expletive
deleted) manual, what am I missing, doing wrong?


Thanks.
