How profiles work
A profile application drives the ALERT Detail application and enables you to restrict the ALERTs shown on the ALERT Detail panel.
An example of an ALERT Detail Profile panel is shown in Figure 1.

Up to four patterns each may be specified for the ALERT fields USER, QUEUE, TARGET, and PRIORITY. Only ALERTs matching at least one of the four criteria for each category become eligible for display.
Field name | Description |
|---|---|
User | is the one- to eight-character name of the user ID the ALERT is addressed to; for example, a one- to eight-character TSO user ID |
Queue | is the name of the queue to access or into which to place the ALERT |
Target | is the target associated with a single MainView AutoOPERATOR only It is not possible to display the ALERTs from multiple MainView AutoOPERATORs on the same ALERT Detail panel. To see ALERTs from another MainView AutoOPERATOR, create a different profile using target definitions from that MainView AutoOPERATOR. |
Priority | is the priority of the ALERT. For example, you can specify one of the following priorities for an ALERT:
These fields also are described as keywords for the IMFEXEC ALERT command statement in the MainView AutoOPERATOR Advanced Automation Guide. Refer to this discussion to learn how to create and construct ALERTs. |
Specify INCLUDE(s) below | list the ALERTs that you want to display on the ALERT DETAIL panel |
Specify EXCLUDE(s) below | list the ALERTs that you want to exclude from being displayed on the ALERT DETAIL panel For example, you may have specified that ALERTs will be published to PATROL Enterprise Manager (PATROL EM) consoles but you might not necessarily want to see these ALERTs displayed on the ALERT DETAIL panel. Use these EXCLUDE fields to specify that those ALERTs will not be displayed on the ALERT DETAIL panel while they are still being sent to PATROL EM consoles to l. |
In addition to specifying eligibility criteria, this panel defines the initial sort order in which the selected ALERTs are shown. The contents of the fields in Figure 1 preset the contents of the corresponding field on the ALERT Detail panel.
