Providing the correct profile for VSE

When QMF is started, it determines which users are authorized to establish a QMF session by searching the CREATOR, ENVIRONMENT, and TRANSLATION columns of the Q.PROFILES table. You need to add the correct values to the user's profile to ensure that QMF recognizes them and starts.

QMF searches for specific profile values in the following order:

1. CREATOR=auth ID, ENVIRONMENT=current operating environment
2. If running in CICS, CREATOR=auth ID, ENVIRONMENT=CICS
3. CREATOR= auth ID, ENVIRONMENT=NULL
4. CREATOR=SYSTEM, ENVIRONMENT=current operating environment
5. If running in CICS, CREATOR=SYSTEM, ENVIRONMENT=CICS
6. CREATOR=SYSTEM, ENVIRONMENT=NULL

auth ID is the DB2 authorization ID of the user trying to log on to QMF. DB2 uses this ID to determine if the user is authorized to use the database.

Current operating environment is CICSVSE if the profiles are stored in VSE DB2 and are being accessed through CICS/VSE.

QMF must find values for CREATOR and ENVIRONMENT that match one of the pairs in the preceding list, or QMF initialization ends in an error before the QMF Home panel is displayed.
