New installations must change backup procedures to ensure that Assure Security’s libraries and IFS directory are included in the backup. This is required for new installations that have applied a license key for any of the following features:

Required for Licensed Feature

Assure Monitoring and Reporting

Assure System Access Manager

Assure Elevated Authority Manager

Assure Multi-Factor Authentication

Assure Db2 Data Monitor

Assure Core Distribution Services

Important! The Assure System Access Manager must be suspended in order to run a complete backup. Contact your Precisely representative if there is no specific period when you can suspend Assure System Access Manager on the server and run a complete backup.

Modify your backup procedures to include the following steps to ensure that Assure System Access Manager is suspended:

  1. Use the following command to stop Assure System Access Manager activity:

    product-library/CHGQXACT HLDQX(*HLD)

  2. End the Assure Security subsystem. The subsystem name is the same as the name of the product library in the following command:

    ENDSBS SBS(product-library-name) OPTION(*IMMED)
  3. Save the Assure Security product library and secondary library, omitting Assure Security data queues, user spaces and user indexes. In the following command, specify the appropriate names for the product library and secondary library, and use the SAVACT option to avoid errors due to active files:
    SAVLIB LIB(product-library secondary-library) DEV(…) SAVACT(*LIB)
OMITOBJ((product-library/*ALL *DTAQ) (secondary-library/QX* *USRSPC)
(product-library/*ALL *USRIDX))
    Note: When saving the product libraries to a save file, it is necessary to execute separate commands for each library. In the following commands, specify the appropriate names for the product library and secondary library:
    SAVLIB LIB(product-library) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(save-file-library/save-file-1) 
SAVACT(*LIB) OMITOBJ((product-library/*ALL *DTAQ) (product-library/*ALL *USRIDX))

SAVLIB LIB(secondary-library) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(save-file-library/save-file-2) 
SAVACT(*LIB) OMITOBJ((secondary-library/QX* *USRSPC))
  4. Save the Assure Security IFS directory.
    • For new installations, the name of the product library is used in the IFS directory path in the following command:
      SAV DEV('...') OBJ(('VISIONSOLUTIONS/SECOPS/library-name'))
SUBTREE(*ALL)
    • For installations upgraded from earlier Cilasoft product versions, the IFS directory is in its previous location. Use the following command:
      SAV DEV('...') OBJ(('/QJRN400')) SUBTREE(*ALL)

  5. When the save operations have completed, start the subsystem. The subsystem name is the same as the name of the product library in the following command:

    STRSBS SBSD(product-library-name/product-library-name)

  6. Restart activity for Assure System Access Manager using the following command:

    product-library/CHGQXACT HLDQX(*RLS)
