Updating Profile Entity-Types

Step 1

Display the Update Profile Entity panel by either selecting option 3 on the Datadictionary Security Maintenance Menu and filling in the profile name and entity-type name on the prompter panel displayed, or type the UPDATE PROFILE command in the command area and include the profile and the entity-type names. For instructions on issuing the UPDATE PROFILE command, see Using Command Processing.

If you use either method, CA Datacom Datadictionary displays the following Update Profile Entity panel:

Batch Transactions

You can update profiles in a batch environment by submitting any one of the 1011 to 1013 transactions with the -UPD transaction group. The 1011 transaction updates facility level security, the 1012 transaction updates entity-type level security, and the 1013 transaction updates function level security.

For an explanation of these transactions, see CA Datacom Datadictionary Batch Security Maintenance.

 -UPD PROFILE,$DD-PROGRAMMER
 1011 DEL DDCFBLD
 1012 UPD AREA(PROD)
 1013   Y
 -END

Note: Before you can update a specific status, as shown in this example, the status must have been previously added to the profile.
