The Profiles module
The Profiles module is available from DataMiner 9.0 onwards, and does not require a separate license. Prior to DataMiner 9.6.4, the module is named the Profile Manager module. The module is available in the apps list in Cube.
It is intended to manage profiles, which consist of a combination of the parameters needed to fully configure a certain device for usage (e.g. an IRD needs an antenna, frequency, polarization and symbol rate). The profiles can then be used in instances, i.e. filled-in profiles intended for use at one point in time.
The Profiles module consists of a list pane on the left with three tabs, Definitions, Instances and Parameters, and a configuration pane on the right, which displays detailed information and settings for items selected in the pane on the left.
To create useful instances, you first need to create profile parameters and definitions. The instances can then be linked to a session variable in Visual Overview, or applied to elements with an Automation script.
