Converting User Profile References into an Object List

The Toolkit command Convert User Profile (YCVTUSRPRF) builds a list of objects referenced by a user profile into an object list. The reference may be any one of the following types:

• *OBJOWN - An object list of the objects owned by a profile.
• *CMDAUT - An object list of the commands to which the user is explicitly authorized.
• *GRPMBR - If the profile is a group profile, an object list of all the user profiles belonging to the group profile.
• *DEVAUT - An object list of the device descriptions to which the user is explicitly authorized.
• *OBJAUT - An object list of the objects to which the user is explicitly authorized.

All objects that are referenced by the specified profile in the specified manner will be included in the list. The resulting list can be used to manipulate all the objects belonging to the profile.

For example, the effect of the following two commands would be to change the ownership of all objects owned by user profile FRED to user profile BASIL:

YCVTUSRPRF USRPRF(FRED) TYPE(*OBJOWN)
 YCHGOBJOWN OBJ(*OBJLST) OBJTYPE(*ALL) NEWOWN(BASIL)
