Anybody any ideas on.......

I need to know is there a file I can access on the AS/400 containing a list
of user profiles.

Thanks in advance

You could try DSPUSRPRF *ALL OUTPUT(*OUTFILE)...

So how's the weather in Dublin?

Hi Caroline,
I don't know... But you can always create this file using DSPUSRPRF
USRPRF(*ALL) OUTPUT(*OUTFILE)
Afterwards you can use Query to include or exclude fields.

Rob

Unfortunatly I'm afraid there is'nt.
But you can build one with either :
DSPUSRPRF USRPRF(*ALL) OUTPUT(*OUTFILE) OUTFILE(libname/profiles)
or (wich sould be faster)
DSPOBJD OBJ(QSYS/*ALL) OBJTYPE(*USRPRF) OUTPUT(*OUTFILE)
OUTFILE(libname/profiles)

May be, if speed is an issue for you, you should consider using an object
list API (don't remember its name)

Hi Caroline,

Take a look at the QUSLOBJ API to list objects of type *USRPRF. I don't
think there's a specific API to list userprofiles. Using outfiles is not
considered as a good method since the file might change in future releases,
neither is the performance good.

Kind regards,
Paul

There are no files with what you want; but there are related APIs.

The Retrieve Authorized Users (QSYRAUTU) API was added to OS/400 in V3R7. It
can be used to retrieve all the authorized users on the system (too which you
are authorized).

The Open List of Authorized Users (QGYOLAUS) API was added to the Host Servers
option of OS/400 in V4R1 (PTFed to V3R7 as I recall). This API, installed into
library QGY instead of QSYS, wraps QSYRAUTU to provide a buffered list
interface. QGYOLAUS is the API used by Operations Navigator to enumerate the
users and groups on a system.

The following links are for QSYRAUTU and QGYOLAUS, respectively:

DSPAUTUSR is worth a look if you were not aware of it.

Caroline,

I don't think there is any such file. But it is easy to create such a
list. Use the DSPOBJD command, select *USRPRF and direct output to an
outfile.

Caroline:

User profiles aren't exactly recorded in files in any useful sense unless you
deliberately run some kind of auditing tool to create the file. One tool
standard on AS/400s is the RTVDSKINF command which builds a large file
describing objects on the system. If you're already running the command for
other reasons, you can query the QAEZDISK file that results from it; but it's
sure much easier to DSPUSRPRF OUTPUT(*OUTFILE), and it'll be accurate up to
date.
