Updating Profiles

You can add, update, and delete profile information defined to CA Datacom Datadictionary Security online or in batch. Use the following steps to update profiles:

Note: A profile definition is read when a user signs on to CA Datacom Datadictionary online or when a user identification transaction is processed in batch. When you update and catalog the profile related to your PERSON entity-occurrence or the profile related to a PERSON entity-occurrence of someone currently signed on, the changes are not enforced in online processing until you or the person sign off and sign on again.

Step 1

Display the panel to update profiles either by selecting option 3 on the Datadictionary Security Maintenance Menu, or by typing the UPDATE PROFILE command in the command area. For instructions on using the UPDATE PROFILE command, see Using Command Processing.

If you omit the profile name with the command, CA Datacom Datadictionary displays the following panel:

=> => => ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- DATADICTIONARY Security Maintenance T40F UPDATE PROFILE ________________________________ UPD PROF (name) ENTITY ________________________________ ENT (type)

Step 2

Type the profile name to update all levels of CA Datacom Datadictionary Security; also type the entity-type name to only update the entity-type level of security for the profile named.

(name)

The name of the profile you are updating. The profile name must begin with $DD-.

Valid Entries:

1 to 32 characters

Default Value:

(No default)

(type)

The entity-type name you are updating, if only updating entity-type level security for the profile named.

Valid Entries:

Valid CA Datacom Datadictionary long name for the entity-type

Default Value:

(No default)

If you only fill in the profile name, CA Datacom Datadictionary displays a panel similar to the following example:

 =>  =>  =>  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------  DATADICTIONARY Security Maintenance                                        T43U  UPDATE PROFILE $DD-PROGRAMMER  .......................... FACILITY LEVEL SECURITY ...........................  Online Facilities - ( DBM: _   FMM: _   ENTM: _   ENTD: Y   ISF: _   SQL: _ )  Batch  Facilities - ( UPD: _   UTL: Y    CFB: _    BTG: _   RMF: _   TRS: _ )  ........................... ENTITY LEVEL SECURITY .............................                                      D A D U  F   R S  V D E C  D T A D  R S S O            Entity         All        i d e p  r T e e  e s n a  e x l e  e e t b               Status    Functions?   s d l d  m o s t  r a a t  f t s s  l c a s  ====== = ========================= T O P   ==================================  000001   AREA                ALL          N        Y N N N  N N N N  N N N N  N N N N  N N N N  000002   DATABASE                ALL          N        Y N N N  N N N N  N N N N  N N N N  N N N N  PF1=HELP  PF2=END  PF3=CLARIFY  PF4=PROCESS  PF5=MENU   PF6=STATUS    MORE....  PF7=SCB   PF8=SCF  PF9=APPLY    PF10=PATH    PF11=NEXT  PF12=INPUT

Step 3

CA Datacom Datadictionary displays the Update Profile panel which contains two sections. One section lists the Facility Level Security authorizations, and one contains the Entity Level Security authorizations. The Entity Level Security section also includes all the entity-type/status combinations which have been defined to this profile.

If the display is longer than the screen, you can use the scroll commands or PF keys to move backwards and forwards through the display. Another panel to display the additional fields follows the description of the fields on this panel.

The following describes each field, the valid entries, and the default (if one exists). Fields that require an entry are highlighted on your terminal. Fields which are not highlighted indicate that an entry is optional.

UPDATE PROFILE

Displays the name of the profile you entered on either the Update Profile Prompter panel or the name you typed with the UPDATE PROFILE command.

Facility Level Security section

Indicate by typing the letter Y (yes) that authorization to use the facility is associated with this profile. N (no) indicates that authorization to use the facility is not associated with this profile.

Note: If SQL processing is available at your site, the Interactive SQL Service Facility is securable by entering Y for SQL in this section.

Step 4

Press PF9 or type APPLY in the command area to apply this information to CA Datacom Datadictionary. If an error is encountered, a code is placed in the field following the line number when the maintenance is applied. For the list of codes, see Profile Maintenance Panel Error Codes or press PF1.

After you have completed this process, CATALOG the profile to the CA Datacom Datadictionary High-Speed Directory (HSD). For more information, see Cataloging Profiles.
