By default, all QMF for Windows, QMF for WebSphere and QMF Report Center user ID's are assigned to the <default> resource limits group for a database server. If you want a user's resource usage to be controlled by the resource limits and schedules for a particular resource limits group, you must assign the user's ID to that resource limits group.
In order to assign a user ID to a resource limits group, the user ID must have a user profile. All resource limits group information for a user ID is stored by QMF for Windows Administrator in a user profile. The user profiles are stored in the table RDBI.PROFILE_VIEW that resides on the database server. When a user connects to a database server, QMF for Windows (or QMF for WebSphere or QMF Report Center) locates the correct user profile to determine which resource limits group to use.
The order in which you create user profiles or resource limits groups does not matter. You can create user profiles using the User Profiles page of the Parameters window. After you finish creating your user profiles, you would use the Resource Limits page of the Parameters window to create your resource limits groups and assign the user profiles to a resource limits group. For more information on user profiles, see the User Profiles chapter of this manual.
You can also create new user profiles during the process of assigning user profiles to resource limits groups.
