CREATE SYSTEM PROFILE Usage

The INCLUDE keyword

You can use the keyword INCLUDE to specify that attribute-value identifies another profile to be included in the current profile. INCLUDE supports up to ten levels of nesting.

Substitution parameters

The value of a substitution parameter in attribute-specification must follow these rules:

• Cannot exceed 32 characters, including a prefix and suffix
• Cannot be enclosed in quotation marks
• Cannot contain special characters other than @, $, and #

The following substitution parameters are available to facilitate sharing profile definitions.

The values of these parameters are determined at runtime as follows:

• &USER.—Replaced with the current user ID
• &SYSTEM.—Replaced with the current system name
• &GROUP.—Replaced with the default group of the current user

Substitution parameters are used to establish a default value for a schema name and to include a profile specific to each user, if one exists. If the included profile does not exist, it will be ignored and will not be treated as an error.

Using profiles with nonterminal tasks

DC/UCF uses profiles in the processing of nonterminal tasks. For example, if a user executes an application from a DC/UCF system that invokes a nonterminal task, the attributes assigned to that user are propagated to the nonterminal task.

For more information about defining and accessing user profiles and securing both user and system profiles, see the Security Administration Guide.
