Restoring and recovering the user definition file

Restoring

The file $TSOS.SYSSRPM.BACKUP cannot be renamed when restoring. Only the catalog ID can be changed. In HSMS, the parameter REPLACE-FILES-AND-JV=*YES or in ARCHIVE, the parameter REPLACE=YES must be specified.
ARCHIVE informs SRPM of the restoration of the file $TSOS.SYSSRPM.BACKUP. SRPM then protects this file against unauthorized access.

Recovering

The file $TSOS.SYSSRPM.BACKUP must be restored before /SHUTDOWN or /EXPORT-PUBSET. On startup or /IMPORT-PUBSET, the message NSI6005 must be responded to with the recovery type or in the case of a FAST startup, the system parameter RECONUC must have the correct value:

• RECONUC=N
  The user definition file is not recovered.

• RECONUC=B
  A new user definition file $TSOS.SYSSRPM is created. It contains the content of the file $TSOS.SYSSRPM.BACKUP.
  Warning: All files and job variables belonging to users that are not present in the file $TSOS.SYSSRPM will be lost.

• RECONUC=T
  A new user definition file $TSOS.SYSSRPM is created, with all users that have files or job variables in the file $TSOS.TSOSCAT. The user definition, if available, will be taken from the $TSOS.SYSSRPM.BACKUP file, or the user will be created with the default values.

• RECONUC=A
  A new user definition file $TSOS.SYSSRPM is created, with all users who have files or job variables either in the $TSOS.TSOSCAT file or are entered in the $TSOS.SYSSRPM.BACKUP file. The user definition, if available, will be taken from the $TSOS.SYSSRPM.BACKUP file, or the user will be created with the default values.

• RECONUC=R
  A new user definition file $TSOS.SYSSRPM is created, with all users who have files or job variables in the $TSOS.TSOSCAT file. All users are created with default values and are locked, with the exception of users with the TSOS privilege.
