Profiles, profile managers, and targets:

A profile is a collection of specific information about a Tivoli software product. Each item in a profile contains system configuration information. The information in a profile is specific to the particular profile type. Profile records are stored in a platform-independent format that allows the same profile records to be distributed across an environment that contains multiple platforms.
A profile manager is a container for individual profiles. It provides a place to create and organize groups of profiles and to link subscribers, or recipients, to them. A profile manager can contain multiple profiles of the same type, or it can contain profiles of more than one type. Profile managers control the distribution of profiles to subscribers. Profile managers are created within a policy region. Subscribers to a profile manager can be in the same policy region as their profile manager or in other policy regions.
