Jim, If the new system has fewer profiles, one option might be to add the profiles in the new database to the existing database, make an IRRUT200 copy of the latter, and port the copy over to the new system. Regardless of how and in what direction you copy the profiles, you'll need to consider the effect the copied dataset and general resource profiles will have on the system to which they are being added (e.g., undercutting existing permissions, protecting resources that were previously unprotected). For other considerations, see our presentation on merging RACF databases available at:

Is there a way to accomplish this. I can't simply replace the RACF database on the new system with my existing one because it contains profiles which are required for the new system.
