Use this page to display all the catalogs and
the parameters of a profile. Catalogs are XML-formatted files that
contain information about the parameters of an AIX Profile Manager
profile, such as, description, type, and commands. This information
is used to get and set the values of those parameters.
You
can also perform the following tasks in this view:
- Delete the profile
- Retrieve the values of the profile on the running configuration
of systems or groups
- Compare the values of the profile with the running configuration
of systems or groups
- Rename the profile
- Export the profile to your file system
Select a profile from the Profiles View of AIX Profile Manager and click View to
view the detailed profile view page.
Fields
- Catalog filter
- Select a catalog to display. The table updates to display the
parameters of the selected catalog. The table only displays the parameters
of one catalog at a time. The first catalog in the list is selected
by default.
- Parameter type filter
- Select which types of parameters are displayed in the table. Possible
values follows:
- All parameters
- Reboot (only the parameters that require a reboot of the system
before their value can be changed)
- Disruptive (only the parameters that require a disruptive operation
to be performed on the system before their value can be changed)
- Dynamic (only the parameters that can be set on the real time
are displayed)
Actions
- Delete Profile
- Select Delete to remove the selected profile.
You can delete a profile only if no template is associated with the
profile. If no template is associated with the profile, click OK in
the confirmation window to delete the profile from the Director server.
To delete a profile that has a template associated to it, refer the
section "View and manage templates" on the AIX® Profile Manager summary page.
- Retrieve Profile
- Select this action to open the Retrieve Profile task
to collect the values of the parameters of the profile on the running
configuration of the target systems and groups.
- Compare Profile
- Select this action to open the Compare profile task.
The task checks the differences between the parameter values that
are specified in the profile and the current values of the same parameters
from the running configuration of systems and groups.
- Rename Profile
- Select this action to open the Rename task
to rename the profile. Before beginning to rename profiles, delete
any templates that are already linked to profiles. You cannot rename
profiles that are already linked to a template. To delete templates,
refer to the section "View and manage templates" on the AIX Profile Manager summary page.
- XML Export Profile
- Exports the profile under a serialized format. The file is then
copied to your file system.
- Actions
- Display a list of available actions. This task include actions
that are provided in the toolbar and actions that are common to all
tables. For common table actions, see "Table navigation in IBM® System Director".
- Search the table
- Search the table with a string or phrase. When you type a string
in this field, matching strings are highlighted in the currently displayed
table. When you click Search, all the pages of a table are
searched for the provided string. However, only the rows that contain
the string are displayed in the table.
