Is there a way to copy a profile from one CA TPX to another CA TPX that is located in a different PLEX?
Instructions on how to copy a CA TPX profile to another CA TPX in a different SYSPLEX. Example on how to extract the profile from TPXA then FTP and merge the extract file over into TPXB:
1) Backup your ADMIN2 file on the target TPXB as a precaution.
2) Extract the profile and all sessions from TPXA to a catalogued data set:
EXTRACT GIVING(EXTFIL1) PROFILE AND ALL SESSIONS (PIDXNAME(profname))
For example:
//BATCHADM EXEC TPXPROC,VNODE='*BATCH*'
//*
//EXTFIL1 DD UNIT=SYSDA,SPACE=(CYL,(1,1)),DISP=(MOD,CATLG),
// DSN=TPXA.EXTRACT.FILE
//RPTFIL1 DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
C
C List all profiles and their sessions
C
EXTRACT GIVING(EXTFIL1) PROFILE AND ALL SESSIONS
(PIDXNAME(TEMP))
SET RTITLE1
' EXTRACT all sessions for profile TEMP from TPXA '
SET RTITLE2
' Profile SessionID ApplID Start ACL Group Owner Member Inv'
SET RTITLE3
' ======== ========= ======== ========= ======== ======= ======= ==='
REPORT GIVING(RPTFIL1) USING(EXTFIL1)
((' &PIDXNAME' '&PENTUSER' ' &PENTAPPL' ' &PENTSCRP' ' &PIDXGRP'
' &PENTHLNM' '&PENTHLID' '&PENTOPTI'))
/*
3) FTP extract file (TPXA.EXTRACT.FILE ) over to the TPXB system.
4) Stop TPXB
5) REPRO the extracted records into the ADMIN2 of TPXB:
//BACKUP EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//ADMIN2 DD DISP=OLD,DSN=YOUR.TBXB.ADMIN2
//EXTRACT DD DISP=OLD,DSN=TPXA.EXTRACT.FILE
//SYSIN DD *
REPRO INFILE(EXTRACT) OUTFILE(ADMIN2)
//
6) Run RESET INTEGRITY (sample BATCHINI).
7) Start TPXB
Now if you go into TPXADMIN - Profile Maintenance on TPXB, you should see the copied profile with all of its sessions.
