## How to Import a Shared Profile to the Change Manager Repository (Web Browser)

The shared profile describes how the managed hosts should be configured at deployment time. For a description of the shared profile's format, see Shared Profile.

If the shared profile contains a property with an invalid value, for example the value of `base_config_flar_archive` does not refer to an existing archive, then the import fails. Check the job queue (see How to View the Job Queue (Web Browser)) to determine whether the import failed. If the import failed, correct the property value and reinitiate the import operation.

The time required to import a file to the Change Manager repository depends on the size of the file and the speed of the network.

1. If you are not already in the appropriate folder, see How to Access the Files Section and Appropriate Folder (Web Browser).

2. From the File Actions menu, choose Import Shared Profile.

3. Supply the following information:

   - Profile name. Choose a meaningful name. For example, choose a profile name that describes the software customizations or the managed host's hardware type, such as `webserver_sun4u`. Add the `.cmsp` suffix to complete the shared profile name, `webserver_sun4u.cmsp`.

   - Path to the shared profile outside the Change Manager repository. Click Browse to find the profile.

4. When the information is complete, click Import to copy the profile file to the Change Manager repository.
