Changing the System
Default Profile
When TEDIT is brought up on a system, a file appears called TEDPROFL
(or the “*” Profile). This file is where TEDIT gets its default configuration
settings. TEDPROFL is located in $SYSTEM.SYSTEM.TEDPROFL.
TEDIT always looks in your default subvolume for TEDPROFL when you
start TEDIT. If TEDIT doesn’t find TEDPROFL in the default subvolume, it
looks for TEDPROFL in the system default subvolume.
You can use either one of the following two ways to change the default
profile for your system:
Make a copy of the system default profile on your default subvolume,
and modify this copy using TEDIT. Replace the system default profile
with this new profile, using the FUP DUP command to replace the
profile.
Change your default subvolume to the system default subvolume
containing TEDPROFL. Enter TEDIT and modify the TEDPROFL file
using the RECONFIGURE command in TEDIT. Save this modified
profile with the SAVEPROFILE command, naming it the “*” profile.
Note The TEDPROFL on SYSTEM.SYSTEM should be secured for WRITE and PURGE access
to a limited group of users. For example, you could create a user’s group of super.super
(255,255) and the security of “N---.”
If you are using a Tandem terminal, you must log on to a Tandem terminal
to make changes or to create a profile on another subvolume. You must use
a Tandem terminal to modify the default terminal profile.
If you are using the IBM 3270 Information Display system, you must log on
to an IBM 3270 to make changes or to create a profile on another
subvolume. You must use an IBM 3270 terminal to modify the default IBM
3270 terminal profile.
