Retrieve Profile to Self Help (RTVPRFSH)
How to Get There
This command can be used from a command line or within one of your own programs.
What it Does
The Retrieve Profile to Self Help [RTVPRFSH) command allows an administrator to import your user profiles to Self Help. With the available parameters some configuration is also performed for those profiles that are retrieved. An audit report is generated to provide a summary of actions taken. For Self Help, the term ‘user profile’ refers to those profiles that are not identified as a 'group profile’.
Field descriptions
Profile name (USRPRF)
Specifies the user profiles to be retrieved into Self Help. A maximum of 50 generic and/or absolute names may be entered.
This is a required parameter.
*ALLUSR ALL user profiles are to be retrieved. This is subject to the list of profile names that are to be omitted. Please refer to 'Profiles to omit’, within this help text.
generic-name Specify the generic name of the user profiles to be retrieved. A generic name is a character string that contains one or more characters followed by an asterisk (*). If a generic name is specified, all user profiles that have names with the same prefix as the generic name are to be processed. This is subject to the list of profile names that are to be omitted. Please refer to 'Profiles to omit’, within this help text.
Language ID/System Configuration (LANGID)
Specifies the Language ID/System Configuration to be associated with each user profile that is retrieved.
This is a required parameter.
If the Language ID/System Configuration is known, enter the value.
Alternatively, select F4 (Function Key 4) with the cursor on this parameter to review a list of Language ID's that have been configured.
Question ID (QUESID)
Specifies the questions that are to be associated with each user profile that is retrieved. The questions will be those that are currently associated with the specified Language ID.
*ALL All questions, configured within the specified Language ID are to be associated with each user profile that is retrieved.
*PROFILE Enter this value to have the questions that are currently associated with another profile, associated with each user profile being retrieved. For further details, please refer to 'Base profile’ within this help text.
Question Specify a Question ID that is to be associated with each user profile being retrieved.
Profiles to omit (OMTPRF)
Specifies the user profiles that are to be omitted from the retrieval process. Generally, this parameter is ignored for an absolute name that has been specified within the 'Profile name’ parameter list. However, if the same absolute profile name is entered for both the 'Profile name’ and ‘Profiles to omit’ parameters, Message Id, SHM0094 will be issued and the processing terminated. A maximum of 50 generic and/or absolute names may be entered.
Q* All user profiles that begin with the letter 'Q' are to be omitted. In other words, when using the special value of *ALLUSR for 'Profile name’, the default IBM user profiles are not to be retrieved.
generic-name Specify the generic name for user profiles that are to be omitted.
Name Specify the name of a user profile that is to be omitted.
Base profile [PROFILE]
Specifies the profile name to be used as the 'base' for associating questions with those user profiles that are retrieved. The name entered here must already exist within Self Help and also have associated questions.
