Use of profiles
A profile application drives the overview application and determines which ALERT queues are displayed and which primary commands are associated with each queue.
The ALERT OVERVIEW application must be configured using a profile before it can be used. The profile determines which ALERT queues are shown. To display the ALERT OVERVIEW Profile panel, issue the command PROFILE on the COMMAND line. An example of the panel is shown in Overview-of-the-ALERT-Management-facility.

This panel allows the specification of up to six queue names or queue name patterns. Optionally, any MainView AutoOPERATOR application transfer may be entered in the fields labeled PCMD to the right of the queue names. The specified command is executed when, in the ALERT Overview Application, the cursor is positioned into the corresponding queue's area and the TRANSFER command is issued.
All commands that can be processed on the COMMAND line of the ALERT OVERVIEW Application when the session is run under TSO, VTAM, or EXCP mode may be specified in the PCMD field.
The information on this panel is automatically saved when you press the F3 key. Enter CANCEL on the COMMAND line to discard any changes.
You can also specify that a command is executed on a remote system by specifying SYSTEM and a remote BBI-SS PAS target. This example executes the TRAN command.against CICS:
