Creating team profiles

As a Dev-Ops advocate or team leader, you can share team profiles with your team members so that they can easily access mainframe services.

Share team configurations

As a team leader, you might want to share a configuration globally under the following scenarios:

• You want to share profiles with developers so that they can work with a defined set of mainframe services. The recipient of the file manually places it in their local ~/.zowe folder before issuing CLI commands.
• You want to add the profiles to your project directory in a software change management (SCM) tool, such as GitHub. When you store the profiles in an SCM, developers can pull the project to their local machine and use the defined configuration. Zowe CLI commands that you issue from within the project directory automatically use the project's configuration scheme.
• You want to enable test automation and CI/CD, which lets your pipelines make use of the project configuration. you store the profiles in an SCM, developers can pull the project to their local machine and use the defined configuration. Zowe CLI commands that you issue from within the project directory automatically use the project's configuration scheme.

Profile scenarios

The following topics describe various profile scenarios that Dev-Ops advocates (team leaders) or application developers that function as DevOps advocates can create to share with their teams.

Access to one or more LPARs that contain multiple services that share the same username and password

The following example illustrates that the settings are using nested profiles to access multiple services directly on multiple LPARs that share the same username and password.

{    "$schema": "./zowe.schema.json",    "profiles": {        "lpar1": {            "properties": {                "host": "example1.com"            },            "profiles": {                "zosmf": {                    "type": "zosmf",                    "properties": {                        "port": 443                    }                },                "tso": {                    "type": "tso",                    "properties": {                        "account": "ACCT#",                        "codePage": "1047",                        "logonProcedure": "IZUFPROC"                    }                },                "ssh": {                    "type": "ssh",                    "properties": {                        "port": 22                    }                }            }        },        "lpar2": {            "properties": {                "host": "example2.com"            },            "profiles": {                "zosmf": {                    "type": "zosmf",                    "properties": {                        "port": 1443                    }                }            }        },        "base": {            "type": "base",            "properties": {                "rejectUnauthorized": true            },            "secure": [                "user",                "password"            ]        }    },    "defaults": {        "zosmf": "lpar2.zosmf",        "tso": "lpar1.tso",        "ssh": "lpar1.ssh",        "base": "base"    }}

Access to one or more LPARs that contain multiple services where the username and password differ between LPAR services

The following example: NEEDS WORK The settings are accessing multiple services directly on LPAR1 and LPAR2 where username and password varies between the LPAR1 and LPAR2 services. This example is identical to Example 1 except that LPAR1 and LPAR2 each contain a secure array, instead of just one secure array in the "base" profile.

{    "$schema": "./zowe.schema.json",    "profiles": {        "lpar1": {            "properties": {                "host": "example1.com"            },            "profiles": {                "zosmf": {                    "type": "zosmf",                    "properties": {                        "port": 443                    }                },                "tso": {                    "type": "tso",                    "properties": {                        "account": "ACCT#",                        "codePage": "1047",                        "logonProcedure": "IZUFPROC"                    }                },                "ssh": {                    "type": "ssh",                    "properties": {                        "port": 22                    }                }            },            "secure": [                "user",                "password"            ]        },        "lpar2": {            "properties": {                "host": "example2.com"            },            "profiles": {                "zosmf": {                    "type": "zosmf",                    "properties": {                        "port": 1443                    }                }            },            "secure": [                "user",                "password"            ]        },        "base": {            "type": "base",            "properties": {                "rejectUnauthorized": true            }        }    },    "defaults": {        "zosmf": "lpar2.zosmf",        "tso": "lpar1.tso",        "ssh": "lpar1.ssh",        "base": "base"    },    "autoStore": true}

Access LPARs containing multiple services through API Mediation Layer with token authentication

The following example illustrates that the settings access multiple services using the API ML where multi-factor authentication (MFA) or single sign-on (SSO) is achievable using token-based authorization.

{    "$schema": "./zowe.schema.json",    "profiles": {        "zosmf": {            "type": "zosmf",            "properties": {                "basePath": "api/v1"            }        },        "cics": {            "type": "cics",            "properties": {                "basePath": "api/v1/cics"            }        },        "db2": {            "type": "db2",            "properties": {                "basePath": "api/v1/db2"            }        },        "base": {            "type": "base",            "properties": {                "host": "example.com",                "port": 443,                "rejectUnauthorized": true,                "tokenType": "apimlAuthenticationToken"            },            "secure": [                "tokenValue"            ]        }    },    "defaults": {        "zosmf": "zosmf",        "cics": "cics",        "db2": "db2",        "base": "base"    },    "autoStore": true}
