Recovering User Profiles

This example assumes that you saved your user profiles in a control group, for example, in the *SECDATA control group or in a control group created by you. To restore your user profiles, take the following steps:

1. Use the INZBRM *DEVICE command to clear device information. This also initializes the files for the devices currently attached to your system.
2. Type STRRCYBRM at a command line and press F4.
3. Type *CTLGRP in the Option field and press Enter.
4. Change the value in the Action field to *RESTORE.
5. Type the name of the control group that contains the user profiles into the Control group selection field.
6. Make sure that the value in the Library to omit field is *DELETE. Press Enter.
7. Press F9 (Recovery defaults) at the Select Recovery Items display.
8. On the Restore Command Defaults display, change the value in the Allow object differences field to *ALL or to the specific differences you want to allow for the restore.
