general, such as where the archive and databases are located and which systems
are part of DSM/SCM.

The system profile contains information about the system itself, such as the host
system name and whether the system uses an Expand network connection.

The target profile contains such items as the input configuration (CONFTEXT) file
name, the output location for reports and the activation package, and TSV location
specifications.
