This dialog is entered from the main dialog by clicking the Edit or Add button.

approved helptext

You may change the Profile Name at any time. Names may contain letters, digits, underscore, dash, and dot. The first character must be a letter or digit. The Description is optional.

Additionally, you may set dedicated scripts to execute at a given time during profile switching. First, the switch process collects data. It compares resources and determines what to change. This data is listed for confirmation in the Confirm Switch pop-up. Then the switch will be executed:
- execute Prestop script from old profile
- stop some services
- execute Poststop script from old profile
- change configuration files
- execute Prestart script from new profile
- start some services
- execute Poststart script from new profile

Security Warning:
These scripts are executed as the user root. Make sure no users can change or even read them without authorization. For YaST to set the appropriate file permissions, check the box at the bottom of the dialog.

General information

In this dialog the user can alter some profile specific data.

Getting information

The name of the profile is already known if we came here via Edit. If we came here via Add then leave the name field empty or suggest a new name. It may only contain the characters [a-zA-Z0-9_-.] and must start with [a-zA-Z0-9].
The description and script paths can be queried calling SCPM::Get comand.
The Set file permissions... check box is a global option and not a property of the profile. YaST2 has to store this value somewhere like the 'close progress popup automatically' information.
