Re: Restore WRKDIRE's user

can you save and restore QUSRSYS/QAOK* tables?
I would think this would be included in the savsecdta -- but not sure.

Please describe the environment. Duplicating the system directory from one system to another doesn't make much sense unless perhaps one system will replace the other. The two systems shouldn't normally be running at the same time in the same network. So what is the business problem that you need to solve?

You can certainly save/restore files from QUSRSYS to a different system, but it can also make a mess of the new system as far as its system directory goes since the entries usually don't match the second system's configuration. One common result is that the "Library QUSRSYS" option under 'Display Installed Licensed Programs' will show with an Installed Status of '*ERROR', and it's often not fun clearing it back up.

Are you simply wanting to add the same users to a second system?

Will the replacement system have the same system name? For a directory entry, the system name would be the "Address". If not, things would be more complicated.

I might save the QUSRSYS/QAOK* tables and restore them to a temporary library. Then you might use CPYF with MBROPT(*ADD) to copy records into the existing files. But I'd probably make sure that I removed all records in the temporary files that matched those in at least QAOKP01A and QAOKPSRA. I wouldn't want to interfere with any entries that existed for QSECOFR, QDFTOWN and any other UserIDs that are used for system operations.

I've never needed to move this type of information to a completely new system before. I've always ensured that I could replicate exactly, e.g., V5R3 migrated to V5R3 and then upgraded the new system. I can't predict your results.
