Customizing and storing session characteristics in profiles
Use the Profile Maintenance Facility to customize characteristics of your active OMEGAMON for Db2 PE session and to store these characteristics in a profile. You can also change and delete existing profiles.
Profiles are identified by 2-character profile suffixes. The profile being in use in an active OMEGAMON for Db2 PE session is displayed on the top line of most panels after the version number (for example, V550.AZ indicates that the user profile AZ is in use).
The default IBM profile
OMEGAMON for Db2
PE contains a default profile, identified by
the 2-character profile suffix #P. This profile
contains session configuration options needed to initialize an
OMEGAMON for Db2
PE
session and default exception analysis thresholds.
The default IBM® profile ensures that you can always initiate an OMEGAMON for Db2 PE session, even if no other profiles are defined. This profile is always available and cannot be changed.
The installation profile
A so called installation profile, identified by the 2-character profile suffix
/I, can be set up during the installation
of OMEGAMON for Db2
PE. This
profile can contain a set of session and exception analysis options
that the installer specifies for all OMEGAMON for Db2
PE sessions at
your installation. The installation profile can contain overrides of
IBM profile options
and additional options that are installation-specific or that are
not contained in the IBM
profile.
If an installation profile exists, your OMEGAMON for Db2 PE session is started with a concatenation of the default IBM profile and the installation profile.
User profiles
OMEGAMON for Db2 PE users can create one or more user profiles, identified by two alphanumeric characters, to customize their individual OMEGAMON for Db2 PE sessions. A user profile can contain profile options that override options specified in the default IBM profile and the installation profile, as well as additional options.
