RE: GRTOBJAUT...does anyone know

For 8000 objects I would just run the grtobjaut command on all objects.

Unless there is a requirement to know which objects need to be updated.

This will take a minute whereas writing a program will take much longer
relatively speaking.

My 2 cents

Cheers

Subject: GRTOBJAUT...does anyone know

We are in the process of cleaning up / tightening up security on our
production machines.

One of the many libraries has about 8,000 objects in it and all but about
100 have the correct authorities. If I do a GRTOBJAUT for *ALL objects in
the library, does anyone know if the command is smart enough to only look
at and only adjust the objects that do not have the particular
supplemental group or does it try to adjust all 8,000? I'm trying to
figure out if it would be more efficient to build a CL with just the
objects that are problems.

And please do not suggest using authorization lists. I'm working toward
that but trying to get a handle on why the authorities are what they are
(and that would politely be called "a mess") has been like trying to turn
a barge with an oar. I'm slowing getting there but is it taking forever so
we are taking an intermediate step first.
