Interface profiles
Interface profiles, also referred to as logon profiles, control the appearance of workspaces and the source from which data is collected. There are three types of interface profiles: IBM default, site, and user.
- Locale (which controls display formats for date and time, monetary values, and separators)
- The color of workspace elements such as headers, borders, and text
- The color of status indicators
- The initial workspace a user sees
- The hub monitoring server from which data is collected
- The number of cycles before the auto update is suspended.
The default KOBCUA profile contains session configuration defaults.
You can create a site-defined profile to define settings that are different from the IBM-supplied defaults. This customized profile becomes the default for all enhanced 3270 interface sessions at the installation. It takes precedence over the IBM-supplied profile. The installation-defined profile must be named CUASITE.
You can create a user profile to customize users' individual sessions. The user-defined profile takes precedence over the installation- and IBM-supplied profiles. Name the user profile with the user ID that will be used to log on to the interface. Users can use the User Profile Member workspace to customize their profiles. For more information about customizing a user profile, see Customizing a user profile.
The IBM-supplied profile is always available and cannot be changed. You must create one or more custom profiles based on the IBM-supplied profile and use them to specify the hub monitoring server from which data is to be collected for display in the enhanced 3270 user interface.
To create custom site and user interface profiles, copy the IBM-supplied KOBCUA profile to a private read/write data set. For more information about creating a custom profile, see Creating a custom interface profile.
