PROFILE Keyword—Maintain Profiles

Valid on z/OS and z/VM.

Use the PROFILE keyword to add or remove up to 254 profiles from a specified ACID.

Notes: The PROFILE and GROUP keywords:

• Cannot be used in the same TSS commands
• Are interchangeable and coding PROFILE() removes both GROUPS and PROFILE

This keyword has the following format:

TSS ADDTO(acid) PROFILE(profile acid,profile acid,...)

acid length

One to eight characters

Capacity of list

Five profile acids per TSS command

This keyword is used with:

• The commands CREATE ADDTO, and REMOVE
• The ACID types User, DCA, VCA, ZCA, LSCA, SCA, and MSCA
• ACID(MAINTAIN) authority

Examples: PROFILE keyword

This example indicates that profile WRIT01 is now connected to USER02:

TSS ADDTO(USER02) PROFILE(WRIT01)

Administrators can designate the order of a new profile using the AFTER or BEFORE keywords with the profile name.

This example indicates that PROF03 should follow PROF01:

TSS ADDTO(acid) PROFILE(PROF03)
                AFTER(PROF01)

The FIRST keyword enables an administrator to add a profile to the beginning of a profile list. This example adds the profile FINPROF1 as the first one in USER01's profile list:

TSS ADDTO(USER01) PROFILE(FINPROF1)
                  FIRST

If you use the FOR or UNTIL keywords with PROFILE, you are able to see the expiration date(s):

TSS LIST(acid) DATA(EXP)

This example removes the connection between a profile and an ACID:

TSS REMOVE(USER02) PROFILE(WRIT01)
