Assigning Text for UIC Group Name in AUTHORIZE?

» close window

The Question is:

 
To copy the SYSUAF from one machine to another, I made a full listing of all
the users from the "old" machine, and turned it into a COM file. The COM
file was run on the new machine and added all the new users as I expected.
The only differences that I ha
ve noticed are when doing a full listing on both machines, of the same user,
there is slightly different information given.
 
Example:
From old machine:
 
Username : BRIAN
UIC : [260,1]([PROOF,BRIAN])
 
But from the new machine I get :
 
Username : BRIAN
UIC : [260,1]([ACQ,BRIAN])
 
My question is how can I make sure that everything from the old machine is
the same on the new?? And where does the UAF gain the translation for the
UICs (as above).
 
Thanks for any help
Paul
 


The Answer is :

 
  The UIC group name attribute is based on the account name of the first
  user added into the UIC group in the SYSUAF authorization database, and
  the text associated with each the UIC group is stored in the (indirectly
  accessable) UIC value [groupnumber,177777]
 
  You can specifically add this identifier using the AUTHORIZE command:
 
      UAF> ADD/ID/VAL=UIC=[group,*] groupname
 
  You can modify this using the AUTHORIZE command:
 
    UAF> MODIFY/IDENTIFER oldgroupname/name=newgroupname
