Maintaining Profiles

To modify a profile description:

1.Type M next to the profile whose description you want to modify and press Enter. Result: The Modify Description window appears.

Switching profiles

At any time during an active session, you can activate a different user and subsystem profile using the S (Switch) action code.

To switch profiles:

Enter S next to the profile you want to switch to, and press Enter.

Result: The profile you selected becomes the active profile. The name of the active profile appears in the Current User/Subsystem Profile field.

Note: If you select $DEFAULT for a user profile, OMEGAMON II automatically selects the user profile that matches your ID. If you select $DEFAULT for a subsystem profile, OMEGAMON II automatically selects the subsystem profile that matches the ID of the subsystem being monitored.

Using the Dynamic Profile Update Facility

The Dynamic Profile Update Facility lets you dynamically import and export individual OMEGAMON II profiles to and from a partitioned dataset by creating import and export dialogs that are invoked externally through MVS.

Observe these considerations when using the import and export dialogs:

Invoke KD2EXP and KD2IMP by using the MVS Modify command.

Use KD2EXP to export a profile to a partitioned dataset and KD2IMP to import a profile from a partitioned dataset.

When you export a profile, its data is written in a standard format to a partitioned dataset member.

The partitioned dataset should be allocated as fixed blocked, LRECL of 80, and BLKSIZE of 8880, with an appropriate number of directory blocks.

Make sure OMIIDB2, the OMEGAMON II for DB2 started task name, has write authority to the partitioned dataset.
