Administering


User and system profiles control OPERTUNE administration:

  • User profiles define users to OPERTUNE with authorization indicators. For example, a user could be granted the authority to modify Db2 parameters, to use the operational assists, or to customize profiles (system, user, group, schedule).
  • System profiles define the OPERTUNE system with its name, the VTAM APPLID, authorization indicators, and the Db2 subsystems that OPERTUNE is allowed to modify. All profiles are stored in a single KSDS VSAM data set.

For more detailed information about OPERTUNE administration, see Administrative functions.
