Editing a Directory Entry That Includes a Directory Profile

To edit a directory entry that references a directory profile, use the EDX command. The EDX command places you in an XEDIT session, and lets you see the effective directory entry—the control statements in that directory entry and those from the directory profile. In contrast, the EDIT command lets you see only the control statements that actually appear in the directory entry.

Example:

The directory profile and directory entry for user ID SMITHE are different when you display them with the EDX command or the EDIT command:

If you view SMITHE’s directory entry with the EDIT command, you see:

In contrast, if you view SMITHE’s directory entry with the EDX command, you see:

LINK TESTUSR1 191 19C RR

Note: The duplicate LINK statement—the one that defined device 19C for CMS4—in the directory profile is not displayed.

EDX ignores control statements in the directory profile that are overridden by statements in the directory entry. CA VM:Director considers the link statement that the directory profile defines to be a duplicate and bypasses it.
