Using an Existing Directory Profile as a Prototype

If an existing directory profile contains many of the control statements that you want for a new directory profile, you can use the existing profile as a prototype for the new one.

To create a directory profile from an existing one

1. Enter the ADMIN PROFILE command, with the directory profile you want to create and the file name of the existing profile you want to copy. For example, to create the profile TCPCMSU1 from the existing profile TCPCMSU, enter the following command:

   vmdirect admin profile tcpcmsu1 tcpcmsu
   

   This command copies the prototype directory profile and places you in XEDIT.

2. Add, remove, or change the control statements that you want in the directory profile.
3. Save this XEDIT session and exit.
