No way.
You did backup of RACFdb as a single entity. There is no method to restore chosen profiles only.


I've used _DB2SYNC_ (mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]) numerous times on the way up. It will generate everything but the passwords. So you'd run DB2SYNC and add the differences to the upgrade database and the users would immediately have to change their password. I see there's a new utility to copy passwords too but I've never had the inclination.

I forgot about DBSYNC. However it requires IRRDBU as an input, so the database still need to be restored on some sandbox system. Then you can just view the profiles (my previous suggesttion), or use DBSYNC to to it in more automated way. However the effort to run DBSYNC is not free. There's also a tool called PWDCOPY, which allows to copy password of given user (source and target userid have to be the same).

So, using these two tools you can re-create the user including their passwords. ...but still excluding other secret data like session key or passphrase.
