CHKLIBITG       CHECK LIBRARY INTEGRITY                TAALIDB

The Check  Library Integrity  command checks  for integrity of  objects
in  a  library.   CHKLIBITG  is  a  front  end  to the  system  command
CHKOBJITG  which  checks  the  owned  objects  of  a  user  profile and
creates an  outfile of exceptions.   The  checking ensures such  things
as  whether the  object is  in the  proper domain,  a  determination of
whether  a program or module has been  tampered with, or whether a CISC
program has not yet been converted to RISC (RISC only function).

To use  CHKLIBITG,  you must  be  or have  all  rights to  the  QSECOFR
profile (an  adopted program  is valid).   All  objects in the  library
must be  free of any allocations to allow the  full use of the command.

Integrity checking occurs  by creating a  temporary profile  TAATMPUSR,
changing the  ownership of  each object  in the  library to  TAATMPUSR,
running the  system command CHKOBJITG, and then  changing the ownership
back  to  the  original  owner.   See  the  later  section  on Recovery
Considerations.   TAATMPUSR  is  deleted  when all  objects  have  been
checked.   You cannot have a profile  by the name of  TAATMPUSR on your
system.

A typical command would be:

             CHKLIBITG   LIB(xxx)

A  spooled file is output with any  conditions found by the command and
any error  conditions  such as  when an  object  is allocated  and  the
ownership cannot be changed to allow checking to occur.

Differences with CHKOBJITG
--------------------------

CHKOBJITG is  the system  command.  It  checks all  objects owned  by a
user  profile and creates an  outfile of exceptions.   You must provide
a function to print the outfile.

CHKLIBITG  is  the  tool.    It  operates  against  all  objects  in  a
specified library.   The  processing of  each object is  to change  the
ownership to  the temporary profile  TAATMPUSR and then  use the system
command  CHKOBJITG.  After  checking the object,  ownership is restored
to the original  owner along with the  owners original authorities.   A
spooled file is output.

Recovery considerations
-----------------------

During the execution  of the command, messages are sent  to the job log
as  each object is  processed.   The messages describe  the object, its
owner and the owner's authorities  These special recovery messages  all
begin with ***.

The object owner is then changed in order to test the integrity.

After  the test,  the  owner  and the  authorities  are  reset and  the
messages are removed.

Therefore,  if the  job abnormally  terminates,  you should  review the
job log and do the following:

  **   Determine if any  of the  *** special  messages exist.   If  so,
       check the  ownership of the  object and  the authorities of  the
       owner.   They  should agree with  the messages  in the  job log.
       If not, use CHGOBJOWN and/or EDTOBJAUT.

  **   Check  for the existence  of the TAATMPUSR user  profile.  If it
       exists, delete it.

Command parameters                                    *CMD
------------------

   LIB           The library to be checked.

Restrictions
------------

  **   You must be or have all rights to the QSECOFR profile.

  **   All objects  in  the  library must  be  free of  allocations  to
       allow the temporary change of ownership to occur.

  **   You  cannot have  a profile  by the  name of  TAATMPUSR  on your
       system.
