SolutionJust do a multy-file convert with exception file. Roughly:
$convert/stat/excep=dups/sort uaf,old new
Remember to also do rightslist and vmsmail$profile, maybe even password_history.
Take the opportunity to optimze uaf & rightslist.
All to often they are neglected for decades!
The system documentation has details on converting and optimizing sysuaf
hth,
Hein.

Re: Combining SYSUAF files
There might also be records in more files like RIGHTSLIST.DAT, NET($)PROXY.DAT. RIGHTSLIST is more of a challenge, because it is permanently kept open, but there are ways to work around it.

Re: Combining SYSUAF files
But DCL is still useful :-)
I've used it to feed a sequential file of RIGHTSLIST records into an active RIGHTSLIST.DAT.

Re: Combining SYSUAF files
the REAL challenge is in also merging RIGHTSLIST.DAT, especially if
a. duplicate usernames do NOT have identical UICs, and/or
b. numeric identifiers are created the DEFAULT way, ie, WITHOUT specifying the /VALU= --- sure to generate conflicting values if done multiple times.
If so, it might be better to NOT merge the RIGHTLIST.DATs, but, after merging the SYSUAFs, do a
$ MCR AUTHORIZE add/ident/user=*
This scans the SYSUAF for usernames and adds the corresponding identifier values.
Then add numeric identifiers by
$ MRC ADD/IDENT
If you already have a lot of identifiers in your existing RIGHTSLIST, you can start this procedure also with that one.
Oh yeah,
...and have set up all of the required supporting products on the new system - TCP etc.
You might wish to start be verifying that you dd not already introduce conflicting values. Repairing NOW is a lot easier than later on!
