Profiles Management

Profiles are managed by users on the Master Unit. Profile configuration is the same as in the single system architecture. Selecting parent channels will assign each channel to specific flow sources (because each flow source represents a root of its channel tree) and hence to a Source Group. The profile is then created/modified on all Slave Units in the selected Source Groups.

For the Flow Sources Related distribution model, the profile is created on all Slave Units in the selected Source Groups too, even if flow sources are not assigned to all Slaves in the Source Group.

This is necessary to:

• keep the unified configuration of all Slaves

• allow easy replacement and recovery

• allow for a changing list of parent channels for the existing profile (sub-profile of live)

When a profile is created, the selected Source Groups notify all Master Units that the profile was created/modified. Every Slave manages its profiles in the same manner as in non-distributed architecture.

The source group(s) assigned to the channel can be seen either on the Analysis page in the channel name or on the Profiles page. Refer to the following screenshots.
