Creating a Directory Profile

You can create a directory profile outright or copy an existing one to use as the basis for a new one.

You can also create one programmatically from a file on your minidisk by using the ADDENTRY command with the PROFILE option. For more information about the ADDENTRY command, see the chapter "Command Reference" in the Reference Guide.

To create a directory profile outright

  1. Log on to VMANAGER or a user ID that has ADMIN or ADMIN PROFILE authorization in the AUTHORIZ CONFIG file.
  2. Enter the following command, replacing filename with the name of the directory profile that you want to create:
    vmsecure admin profile filename
    

    This command inserts the correct PROFILE statement in the directory profile and places you into an XEDIT session.

  3. Add the control statements that you want in the directory profile.
  4. Save this XEDIT session and exit.
