Re: Private authority report

I want to repeat an earlier comment about "locks". If you have objects
that are in use when you do your GRTOBJAUT, the command will fail on
those objects. Therefore, you need to schedule that action.

Do you know how to use SQL? If so, you could dump your information to
temporary files and examine them without having to do any "programming."


Object level security takes some level of organization, but is well
worth the effort - especially when compared with the alternative...

John,
I did that by searching for "in use" but would have to search 49 times.
And I only got a job log because I had time to request one while it the
GRTOBJAUT was running. Hate to think where I'd be without a joblog.
I'd also hate to implement object level security if it's so difficult to
get such a list.

Absent a Vendor provided security tool that will list the authorities of
objects in the library, you can review your joblog to see which items
were not changed.

Subject: [Security400] Private authority report

I performed a GRTOBJAUT OBJ(AMFLIBE/*ALL) OBJTYPE(*FILE)
USER(ODBCUSER) AUT(*USE) and the joblog shows "Authority given to 5886

objects. Not given to 49 objects". How can I get a list of just the
49 files in library AMFLIBE that weren't given authority?

The files for most of the 5886 objects that were given authority look
like this:

User Authority
*PUBLIC *CHANGE
AMAPICS *ALL
ODBCUSER *USE

I need a list of just the 49 files in library AMFLIBE in which
ODBCUSER has no private authority.
