IORM interdatabase plans plans now support profiles that reduce management of interdatabase plans for environments with many databases. Previously, a storage administrator had to specify resources for every database in the interdatabase plan. The plan needed updates each time a new database was created. IORM profiles greatly reduce this management. The storage administrator can now create profile directives that define different profile types based on performance requirements. Next, the administrator maps new and existing databases to one of the defined profiles in the interdatabase plan using the database parameter DB_PERFORMANCE_PROFILE. Each database inherits all its attributes from the specified profile directive automatically.
