RE: Another heads up on a restore -- MIDRANGE-L

Trevor,

I agree that your suggestion is best practice, but that does not in my view
absolve IBM of having the restore operate in a predictable manner, in this
case a complete recovery of a system. It almost sounds like they can't
find an easy fix so IBM is just bailing on the problem.

Rob: I would not only enter a change request with IBM but also put it on
the COMMON request list as well. That way (in theory anyway) the CAAC will
have an opportunity to evaluate it.

Surely this is a simple matter of putting all your changes to
system-supplied objects (which this can be classed as) into a CL program.
This is the same CL program you would run after doing an OS upgrade.

I just submitted a DCR that this is BS.
Suggested an exit on SAVSYS, and on RSTAUT, that IBM do this themselves.

IBM owns up to this issue. They just say it's the customer's problem to

solve.

If you secure certain commands with authorization lists they are going
to
be a little messed up on a restore.

Old system:
Object . . . . . . . : STRDBGSVR
Library . . . . . : QSYS
Object type . . . . : *CMD
Object secured by authorization list . . . . . . . . . . . . :
SYSTEMS
Object
User Group Authority
*PUBLIC *AUTL
...

After restore
Object . . . . . . . : STRDBGSVR
Library . . . . . : QSYS
Object type . . . . : *CMD
Object secured by authorization list . . . . . . . . . . . . : *NONE
Object
User Group Authority
*PUBLIC *AUTL
...

How *PUBLIC can have the authority of *AUTL when there is no longer an
authorization list associated to it is a little baffling.

On old system do WRKAUTL SYSTEMS, take option 8 to see objects in it.

down to QSYS. I think only QSYS was affected.
