Copying ISRPROF member into other TSO profile

Sudhir KL

Hi,

I was editing my userid.ISPPROF(ISRPROF) member

from other TSO ID...This member got deleted by mistake.

I revoked the RACF for the TSO ID that i used to edit the member.

Now, when i try...I am unable to get into ISPF editor.

Please help me copy ISRPROF member from other TSO profile into my profile

I tried SORT, IEBGENER jcl's by giving USER=*** and PASSWORD=**** in the jobcard

Thanks,
Sudhir

No luck. Please help

What is the message when you try to start the editor?

I am not sure if you can use a ISPF profile copied from another user, without problems. If you start ISPF without a profile, I think a default one is created for you, but it may the contain values for your specific user account, which makes it unusable for other userids.

I am sure i can use other ID's ISPF profile. i have tried this. i just need to find a way how to copy it into my dataset.

This is the message I get.........

ISPI002 Following file could not be opened:
ISPPROF
READY

You might be able to do the copying from your TSO command line, if you can get into TSO before ISPF opens, or if you free the profile data set from the command line and then reallocate it.

I am unable to go to TSO command line

It used to directly go to ISPF screen

1. I was able to edit from other TSO ID coz...I had given RACF privelege ALTER to the ID. ..and I was not logged In in my TSO ID

2. Later, I deleted the RACF dataset profile that contained RACF privelege to the other TSO ID. Then on ...I was not able to edit my profile

Below the message I got when I tried

"ALLOC F(ISPPROF) REUSE LIKE('your.ispprof') SPACE(1 1) TRACKS "

ALLOC F(ISPPROF) REUSE LIKE dataset('USERID.ispprof') SPACE(1 1) TRACKS
ENTER MODEL DATASET NAME -

Can someone please tell me how I add RACF dataset profile ( From TSO)
and then grant ALTER permission to another user ..
so that he can refresh my ISRPROF member

Lessons to be learned:
Rule 1: do not directly edit ISRPROF
Rule 2: if you do mess it up, contact your site support group immediately
Rule 3: if you don't contact your site support group, don't post on a forum and expect to be told how to issue commands you probably do not have authority to issue to fix a problem you should not have had anyway

Bottom line: contact your site support group (security administrator) and get their help in unscrambling this mess you've created.

Hurrahhh

Finally I got it. This is what i did...
1)
Added Dataset profile...
ADDSD 'USERID.**' UACC(ALTER) AUDIT(ALL(ALTER))
2)
TSO PERMIT USERID.** ID(USER1) ACCESS(ALTER) CLASS(DATASET) GEN

From the other TSO ID refreshed ISRPROF

Presto!!!! All is Well

Thanks a ton for all you guys!!!!
