Mass update to FILENAME field in S_DATASET authorization object

1174 Views

We are migrating to a new fileserver with a new hostname, and so I've been asked to update about 1900 instances of the S_DATASET authorization object for the new FILENAME value. I'd like to do this programmatically if possible.

What I've learned so far is that I need to update the value in table USR12, but the value is encoded. When I look at the table in SE16, I do not see the encoded value field. The value does show in UST12, but I'm told this is an unreliable table.

So I'd like to know..

1. How can I look at the value if not in SE16?

2. Is there an API I can use to encode/decode the value? If not, where is the specification on how to build it?

If this is better addressed in a different forum, which one should I try next?

Thanks,

Dan
