Saving and restoring security information in the distributed relational database environment

 

You can use a variety of CL commands to save and restore security information.

If you make frequent changes to your system security environment by updating user profiles and updating authorities for users in the distributed relational database network, you can save security information to media or a save file without a complete Save System (SAVSYS) command, a long-running process that uses a dedicated system. With the Save Security Data (SAVSECDTA) command, you can save security data in a shorter time without using a dedicated system. Data saved using the SAVSECDTA command can be restored using the Restore User Profiles (RSTUSRPRF) or Restore Authority (RSTAUT) command.

Included in the security information that the SAVSECDTA and RSTUSRPRF commands can save and restore are the server authorization entries that the DRDA^® TCP/IP support uses to store and retrieve remote system user ID and password information.
