Because my same VM can run on different CPU I created five MACLIBs where the filename is the CPUID : 12342097 MACLIB. Each time I xautolog RMSMASTR the profile exec extracts the files related to the correponding CPU. That way my source files are secured in to my maclibs. I did that for TCPIP, VMTAPE, RSCS and some others... Just back from DR test. Worked as desired...
