Db2 command profiles
A Db2 command profile is a file that contains customized specifications for the syntax of a Db2 command.
Using a Db2 command profile saves you time and helps avoid user errors because you avoid having to specify the syntax each time that you generate the syntax and execute a command.
When you save command syntax to a Db2 command profile by using the PROFILE command, Catalog Manager assigns a profile ID, and stores the ID, the Db2 command keywords, and the keyword values in a utility profile. (For more information about utility profiles, see Managing-utility-profiles.)
The following figure shows the syntax of the PROFILE command:
Command options
Option | Description |
|---|---|
SAVEAS profileID | Saves the profile to a specific profile You can use a maximum of 64 characters, including spaces, in the profile ID. The characters <, >, ?, and / are not permitted. |
SET profileID | Establishes a profile Using the PROFILE SET command to establish a profile will reset your current profile to the values defined in the profile. |
SAVE | Saves the Db2 command profile After you establish a Db2 command profile with the PROFILE SET command, you can issue the PROFILE SAVE command to save the profile. |
The following figure shows an example of the RDACRJSTARTDB DB2 command profile in a utility profile:
