A TP profile contains identification, security, and scheduling information for a target TP that resides in MVS and is scheduled in response to an inbound allocate request. Every TP in MVS that receives an inbound allocate request and is scheduled by the APPC/MVS transaction scheduler must have a TP profile. (Note that inbound requests that are processed by APPC/MVS servers are not normally scheduled and therefore do not require the use of a TP profile.) Each TP profile consists of a TP profile key, a program attributes section, and a transaction scheduler section.
