Save and restore 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 server 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 server. With the Save Security Data (SAVSECDTA) command, you can save security data in a shorter time without using a dedicated server. 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 Save Security Data (SAVSECDTA) and Restore User Profiles (RSTUSRPRF) commands can save and restore are the server authorization entries that the DRDA® TCP/IP support uses to store and retrieve remote server user ID and password information.
