The CMN_PROFILE_GLOBAL table contains values that control the behavior of the Argus Insight application.
You can update many of these values by modifying the Profile Switches in the List Maintenance tab on the ADMINISTRATION TOOLS page in Argus Insight.
Other values you can access and update only through direct SQL statements.
In addition to the CMN_PROFILE_GLOBAL table, the CMN_PROFILE_ENTERPRISE table contains values that control the behavior of all enterprises in Argus Insight. For more information about modifying the profile enterprise switches, see the Oracle Argus Insight CMN Profile Enterprise Table Guide.
During the initial Factory Data load when the database is created, the system creates several Internal Use rows. As the name implies, these rows of values are for Argus Insight internal use only.
Do not modify any values in the internal use rows.
Each profile switch described in this guide includes the following information:
Section — Lists the name of the section within the CMN_PROFILE_GLOBAL table that has the profile switch. The sections are as follows:
SYSTEM
DATABASE
ARGUS
BOXI (for BusinessObjects XI)
COGNOS8
Key — Lists the unique name for the profile switch.
Company Defined — Indicates the method you can use to modify the profile switch:
0 = Indicates you can modify this profile switch only by issuing direct SQL statements. You should modify these profile switches with assistance from Oracle Support.
