Naming Conventions for the PROFILE Object

You can issue an SCF command with a VFS PROFILE object by naming the profile as

follows:

PROFILE [\system-name.]$appl-mgr-name.#VFS.profile-name

system-name identifies the system in which the APLMGR process is

running.

appl-mgr-name identifies the name of the APLMGR process and is a valid

Guardian process name.

profile-name must be a unique name that you can use to identify the name

of the virtual profile. profile-name can consist of a maximum of eight

characters.

You can issue an SCF command with an FTC PROFILE object as follows:

PROFILE [\system-name.]$appl-mgr-name.#FTC

Because there is never more than one FTC profile in a subsystem, no profile-name

is required or allowed.

Wildcard Support for the PROFILE Object

Tandem FTAM supports limited use of wildcards. The wildcard characters are the

question mark (?) and the asterisk (*). The question mark denotes any single character;

the asterisk denotes any number of characters.

When wildcards are used with $profile-name, the first character of process-

name must be the dollar sign ($). The second character, and any subsequent characters,

can be any alphabetic or numeric character, an asterisk, or a question mark, as follows:

PROFILE $MGR??.#VFS.profile-name

PROFILE $MGR*.#VFS.profile-name

Additional limited wildcard support is provided by Tandem FTAM for the NAMES

PROFILE command. Only the asterisk (*) can be used, as shown in the following

examples (note that the asterisk must immediately follow the period):

NAMES PROFILE $appl-mgr-name.#VFS.*

NAMES PROFILE $appl-mgr-name.*

NAMES PROFILE $appl-mgr-name.*.*

You can issue an INFO command for the VFS1 virtual filestore profile associated with

the APLMGR process \MARS.$AMGR as follows:

INFO PROFILE \MARS.$AMGR.#VFS.VFS1

You can issue an INFO command for the alternate collector defined for that same

subsystem as follows:

INFO PROFILE \MARS.$AMGR.#FTC
