| |
| <p> |
| All Remote System Explorer resources such as connections, filters, and filter pools are owned by a profile. Profiles help you manage these resources when you have a lot of connections. The Remote System Explorer creates two profiles when starting up for the first time: a <em>private profile</em>, usually named after the host name of the machine that creates the workspace, and a profile called <i> Team</i>. The intent is to be able to share the Team profile in the future with other members of your team. You can also create your own profiles. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Note: due to an internal restriction a profile name cannot contain three consecutive underscore characters at this time. |
| </p> |
| <div class="p"> |
| Profiles contain: |
| <ul> |
| <li> |
| Connections -- including subsystem properties. User IDs and passwords are not shared. |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Filters, filter pools, and filters pool references |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| Other artifacts associated with a profile |
| </li> |
| </ul> |
| </div> |
| <p> |
| Profiles can be active or inactive. The Remote System Explorer displays all connections from all active profiles and, within a connection, allows filter pools to be referenced from any active profile. Further, the user actions and compile commands shown in the right-click menu for a remote resource are from all active profiles. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| Your private profile cannot be deleted or made inactive. |
| </p> |
| <div class="p"> |
| <!-- TODO rework |
| Placing all connection and filter data in a profile |
| shared by the team |
| assists in team support, since all connections, filter pools, and team |
| profiles |
| can be shared among team members. |
| --> |
| You can use the Team view to control which profiles display in your workspace by making the profiles active. |
| <!-- TODO rework |
| <div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Note: </span>Making |
| a profile active or inactive does not affect your teammates. For |
| example, |
| you can choose not to display one of your own profiles in your |
| workspace, |
| but a teammate can make that profile active in his or her workspace. |
| You will |
| see the profiles you or your teammates have made inactive in the Team |
| view when you perform a synchronization with the repository in which |
| the profiles are stored. See topics in the help contents and |
| links |
| below about team support for more information on profiles and shared |
| data.</div> |
| --> |
| </div> |
| <!-- TODO rework |
| <p>To reduce collisions when you synchronize the user IDs and the |
| ordering of |
| resources in a profile are stored locally on your workstation. To |
| participate |
| in team support, you need to synchronize with, and upload your profiles |
| to a central repository. Use the <a href="../tasks/tteamsup.html">Team |
| view</a> to |
| share source and profile information with other team members, and to |
| synchronize |
| that information with the repository. Everything except your user ID |
| will |
| then be stored on the server, and any developer can obtain profile |
| resources |
| from the central server. </p> |
