When to run the Rename Directory Entry command

When you need to run the Rename Directory Entry (RNMDIRE) command for a local user, schedule it before you perform these operations.

  • Saving mail
  • Saving the system distribution directory

If the rename operation is performed just before saving the mail and the directory, the changed information is saved and the information will be the same as what is on the system. If the information on the media does not match the information on the system, the mail will not be restored during the restore operation.
