Example: Profile Specific Messages

In this example, the organization has two branches: an eastern branch and a western branch. You want to create a profile to capture all tape mount messages for all the production systems running in the eastern data center, but do not want to capture messages for development jobs. The job classes assigned to tape mount requests are 1, 2, and 3.

From the Message Profiles panel, press F4 (Add) to add a profile. A Profile Details panel appears. You can press F8 (Forward) to scroll forward through the panels or enter the panel index number at the Command prompt to select a specific panel. (Pressing F11 (Panels) displays of a list of panels and panel index numbers.)

Use the following panels in this example:

On the Profile Details panel, type a unique profile name (TAPEMOUNTS), a unique ID (127), a description of the profile (Tape Mounts for Eastern Production Jobs), and assign a status. Assign a status of ACTIVE so that the profile can be activated.

The following panel shows the completed Profile Details.
