/PROF Command

The /PROF command lists and manages your CA WA CA 7 Edition user profile. The user profile is stored in the CA WA CA 7 Edition database and contains personal PA/PF key settings and an external UID resource name (see the /UID command and the Security Reference Guide). When you log on to CA WA CA 7 Edition, the PA/PF key settings from your user profile are set up for your terminal session automatically. Also, if you do not specify an external UID resource name on the CA WA CA 7 Edition Logon panel, it is taken from the user profile when it is defined there.

Note: User profile PA/PF key settings override terminal and default PA/PF key settings from the initialization file with one exception. The user profile settings do not override the PA/PF key that is defined as the VLOGOFF key.

If you issue the /PROF command without any operands, the current values in your user profile are listed.

This command has the following format:

/PROF[,EXRSLV={NO|YES}]
     [,{K|KEYS}={CLEAR|PROFILE|SAVE}]
     [,R=uidname]
     [,{ST|STATUS}=DELETE]
EXRSLV

(Optional) Specifies whether to produce extended RESOLV messages when you issue a RESOLV command. These messages (SRC1-137) can be produced when a job/network is scheduled on the same day by two or more schedule IDs.

Required: No. The extended RESOLV message option can be overridden using the DUPDATE= keyword on the RESOLV command itself.

KEYS

(Optional) Specifies the action to take with PA/PF keys.

SAVE

Specifies to save your current terminal PA/PF key settings in your user profile. The current terminal key settings are defined by using the /PAnn and /PFnn commands. To determine your current settings, issue /DISPLAY,ST=KEY. The definitions under the heading ---- TERMINAL ---- are the settings that are saved to your profile. Other PA/PF key settings under the headings Initialization and Defaults are not saved. If you already have PA/PF key settings in your user profile, they are NOT merged with the new settings.

PROFILE

Specifies to replace your current terminal PA/PF key settings with the definitions in your user profile. PROF and PROFILE can be used interchangeably. If you have made temporary changes to your current settings with the /PAnn and/or /PFnn commands, you can return to your profile definitions by using KEYS=PROFILE.

CLEAR

Specifies to clear the PA/PF key settings in your user profile. Once cleared, these settings cannot be recovered. Define new settings to your current session using the /PAnn and/or /PFnn commands, and then save them using KEYS=SAVE. If you want to clear only the settings for your current terminal session, use the /PF99 command.

R

(Optional) Defines the resource name defined in the UID resource table to be used as your default at logon time. If you explicitly specify a resource name on the CA WA CA 7 Edition Logon panel, it overrides the value in your user profile.

Note: The resource name that is specified is not validated against the current UID resource table, nor is it checked against external security at the time it is placed in the profile record. These checks are made if the resource name is used at logon time.

STATUS=DELETE

(Optional) Specifies to delete the entire user profile record from the database. If used, this keyword must be the only one coded. ST and STATUS can be used interchangeably.
