Automatic Profile Load with Data Load

If the profile to be used is not already in the database, the repository agent can automatically load the profile and load the associated data. This approach requires a pair of files in the USM_HOME\repagent\data folder with the same file name except for the extension. The file with the extension of .xml contains the profile definition whereas the file with the extension of .txt contains the usage data. For example, suppose a profile definition named abc.xml exists. In that case, the repository agent loads that profile into the database and uses it to process an associated usage data file named abc.txt.

The profile definition XML file must follow a certain format. In the case of the integration with CA NeuMICS, this profile definition file is automatically generated by CA NeuMICS. To use this technique for other loading usage data from other systems, generate the profile XML file according to the supported format.
