System Authorization Facility (SAF) profile names
The Profile Management Tool and the zpmt command generate jobs that help you create the necessary System Authorization Facility (SAF) profiles—such as STARTED, CBIND, or SERVER—that enable your server to run.
At runtime, normal SAF specific and generic profile matching uses a combination of the cell short name, cluster short name (or cluster transition name for a non-clustered server), server short name, and the SAF profile prefix (if one is specified) to select the appropriate matching profile.
The generic profiles that are created are not required and exist only for your convenience in case you use the default server short names and cluster short names (or cluster transition names for non-clustered servers) generated by WebSphere Application Server for z/OS. You can choose to delete the generic profiles if, for example, your organization has particular naming conventions and you will not use the default names generated by WebSphere Application Server for z/OS. In that case, ensure that you have your own strategy for creating the required SAF profiles, either generic or specific, with your own naming convention—WebSphere Application Server for z/OS does not create them for you.
