Switching profiles

At any time during an active session, you can activate a different user and subsystem
profile using the S (Switch) action code.

To switch profiles:

Enter

S

next to the profile you want to switch to, and press Enter.

Result: The profile you selected becomes the active profile. The name of the active
profile appears in the Current User/Subsystem Profile field.

Note: If you select $DEFAULT for a user profile, OMEGAMON II automatically selects

the user profile that matches your ID. If you select $DEFAULT for a subsystem
profile, OMEGAMON II automatically selects the subsystem profile that matches
the ID of the subsystem being monitored.

Using the Dynamic Profile Update Facility

The Dynamic Profile Update Facility lets you dynamically import and export individual
OMEGAMON II profiles to and from a partitioned dataset by creating import and export
dialogs that are invoked externally through MVS.

Observe these considerations when using the import and export dialogs:

Invoke KD2EXP and KD2IMP by using the MVS Modify command.

Use KD2EXP to export a profile to a partitioned dataset and KD2IMP to import a
profile from a partitioned dataset.

When you export a profile, its data is written in a standard format to a partitioned
dataset member.

The partitioned dataset should be allocated as fixed blocked, LRECL of 80, and
BLKSIZE of 8880, with an appropriate number of directory blocks.

Make sure OMIIDB2, the OMEGAMON II for DB2 started task name, has write
authority to the partitioned dataset.
