The table describes the profile members and the global profile information they contain.

Table 39 Members Containing Global Profile Information

Member

Description

$PROFILE

This member, located in the IOAENV library, contains:

The default settings for the IOA Online environment. These default settings are not changed.

A line that indicates the location of the User Profile members.

The values specified for profile variables (runtime parameters). The values of all profile variables are resolved and maintained dynamically (when needed) according to their values in member DEFPARM in the IOA PARM library. For more information about the variables in this member, see Profile Variables.

$PROFMOD

Contains global customization information. This member is located in the IOA PARM library. The member can contain the following types of information.

Global filter definitions.

User profile locations. If specified, these override the User profile location specified in member $PROFILE.

Values to override the default values for fields specified in member $PROFILE.

This member can be copied so that customization need not be redefined when upgrading from a previous version.

$PROFFLD and $PROFVAR combined as $PROFILE and are found in the IOAENV library.

User profile members are located in libraries specified in member $PROFILE and, optionally, in $PROFMOD. These libraries are listed in the lines beginning with a dollar sign ($) in the $PROFILE member. For example, the following lines indicate that the user profile for user M89 is in library IOAP.OPRM.PROF and that all other user profiles are in library IOAP.OPR.PROF.

000059 *        POINTERS TO USER'S PROFILE LIBRARIES.     *                   

000060 *--------------------------------------------------*

000061 $M89             =IOAP.OPRM.PROF                                       

000062 $*               =IOAP.OPR.PROF

By default, the following line is included in member $PROFILE:

$*               =%OLPREFA%.PROF

This line indicates that all user profiles are found in the PROF library with the prefix of the dataset in which IOA was installed.

User profiles can be divided into more than one library. For example,

$M*               =%OLPREFA%.PROFM

$N*               =%OLPREFA%.PROFN

can be used to direct all User profiles beginning with M to be stored in the PROFM library and User profiles beginning with N to be stored in the PROFN library.

Mask characters (* and ?) can be used in the specification of the user names (profiles) to be stored in a specific library.
