The CASP Business Element Profile record is where you define commonly used attributes for business elements that use a profile; the settings in the profile record become the default values for those business elements that reference this profile.
You can also use a profile record to update existing records and any dependent objects that also require updating. For example, if you change a profile's transport type from MQSeries to MSMQ, the values for the queue and queue manager fields also change to incorporate the machine name and queue manager settings for MSMQ.
Refer to the CASP Administrator Directory Services User's Guide for scenarios and procedures for using common profiles.
The Business Element Profile Properties dialog includes the following tabs:
Identification
Network
Cost
Inline Services
Appl Mgt
Startup Options
Environment
Propagate
Note: With the exception of the Propagate tab, these tabs are identical to the tabs in the Business Element Properties dialog. The only required field when you create a business element profile record is the Name field on the Identification tab.
