Working with Privileges › Extract Altered Privilege Data

Extract Altered Privilege Data

If the privilege data in the Extend model no longer exists or was altered, you can use the IMPORT command to bring data directly from the control tables to the Extend model storage tables.

To import data from control tables to storage tables

1. Choose VIEW.DIALOG to select the EXTEND dialog.
2. Choose VIEW.TYPE to select the PRIV entity type.

   Note: To add or remove any data from the control tables that pertains to:

   • Privileges (PRIV, DLG PRIV, PRIV ENT, PRIV STS, and PRIV CMD), always use the PRIV entity type
   • Workstation privileges (WORKPRIV), you can use either the PRIV entity type or the ALL WORK entity set
3. Choose SYSTEM, EXTEND, IMPORT. A list of privilege definitions currently in the control tables appears.
4. Enter S in the SEL field of each privilege you want to import, then press Enter.
5. Enter a valid status for the EXTEND dialog at the prompt and press Enter.

   Note:

   • If the selected privilege is not in the repository model, a progress message appears stating that the import request is being processed.
   • If the privilege already exists in the repository model but was modified, the import progresses as explained above. However, the system overwrites the existing PRIV entity with a new one.
6. You can now use the online editing capabilities to select and make modifications to the PRIV instance and its associated instances as necessary.

IMPORTANT! To avoid loss of associations and relationships, make sure that any required COMMAND, DIALOG, META ENT, STATUS, and ALL WORK entities are in the Repository before importing a privilege.
