Managing Model Profiles

Following are suggestions for ways you can use model profiles to manage your model.

As already mentioned, you can create a default model profile suitable for your environment by editing the model profile in the null model or by editing the model profile associated with a particular model.
- To change the model profile defaults for new models, edit the default model profile in the null model. Note that this will be overwritten when you receive a new version of CA 2E.
- To change the model profile defaults for new users of a model, edit the default model profile in the model library.
You can tailor model profile settings for particular developers or groups of developers using the Edit Model Profile (YEDTMDLPRF) command. Some examples are:
- Assign developers to different session lists based on the project to which they are assigned.
- Restrict certain developers to view only mode.
- Turn component change processing off for all designers (*DSNR) to avoid interactive overhead.
- Set a different generation and creation environment for each ongoing project.
You can use the Retrieve Model Profile Details (YRTVMDLPRF) command to retrieve model profile settings for a specified user profile. As with other change control facilities commands, you can use this within control language programs to build utilities and model object lists to help manage your model.
