Recovery procedure for a program failure or human error

You might need to recover objects because a program updated them incorrectly or because a user deleted them.

See Restoring specific types of information topic for the kind of objects you are restoring. Some objects have special considerations or need to be restored in a particular sequence.

If you are restoring an object that does not exist on the system, private authorities for the object are not restored with it. You can do one of the following tasks:

Reconstruct the private authorities manually, using the Edit Object Authority (EDTOBJAUT) display.
Restore private authorities by using this procedure:
1. Restore all user profiles from your most recent SAVSYS or SAVSECDTA tape. Type: RSTUSRPRF. Restoring user profiles requires a restricted state.
2. Restore the objects you need to recover.
3. Restore authorities. Type: RSTAUT. Only one Restore Authority (RSTAUT) command can run on the system at any given time.
