Using Profiles to Manage the WebFOCUS Development Environment
The following guidelines for leveraging WebFOCUS profiles
can be used to create development standards.
In the Reporting Server global profile, edasprof.prf, specify:
- Global SET commands that are available for all users and
WebFOCUS applications.
- Default values for WebFOCUS custom parameters.
- Global system variables.
- Global connections for Data Adapters.
- User written subroutines to return values that are used by all
user connections. For example, the CNCTUSR subroutine is commonly
used to extract the connecting WebFOCUS user ID for use in applications.
Invoke the routine once, and set the result for all users as a global
variable.
