Introduction
A Profile is the starting point for specifying a file transfer. A profile is specified when each file transfer operation is run. See Running File Transfers with the JADE Client for an example of how to call a profile.
In the XSD Schema used to structure the JADE configuration parameters, the Profiles element, which is the parent of all Profile elements, lies at the top of a major branch in the configuration, alongside the Fragments and General branches.
A profile contains information about the operation to be carried out - e.g. copy or move - the transfer source and, if relevant, target, and contains references to the protocol fragments that are to be called to specify how the file transfer connections are to be made.
The profile can be seen as a specification of what is to be done and the protocol fragment as a specification that is selected from a library of predefined specifications of how the transfer is to be done.
