      You can use this market for profiles that you are working on and do not want to be used. If you want the profile to be invoked by the system, you must perform extra configuration. See the EMC Documentum Content Transformation Services Profile Modification Guide or the EMC Documentum Content Transformation Services Product Development Guide for more information on system profiles.

7. Click Next.

8. The profile may also include the Inner Profiles - Details tab if it is a chained or sequenced profile. Each profile selected in the Inner Profiles - Selection screen is displayed with the profile’s current parameters.

9. In the Configure inner profile dialog:

   1. The location of the profile is shown in the Path field.

   4. Click OK.

10. Click Next.

11. In the Formats tab:

    • Click Add to add another Source and Target format pairing for the profile. These are the source file formats that the profile will accept for transformation and the target formats that those files can transform to.

12. Click Next.
