My understanding is that RESTORE DIRECTORY only restores the basic directory
structure that was STOREd with default capabilities and access. Not any
passwords or customized capabilities and access parameters. You need to use
BULDACCT to create the commands in two job streams to capture those
parameters/passwords and UDCs. You then stream BULDJOB1 to restore the complete
accounting structure with customized items. BULDJOB2 restores the UDCs.
It is not a good idea to reduce the number of spindles, also.
