SQL Profiles

Question

Hi
DB:         10.2.0.4
Platform:  Redhat Linux
Summary:
When I unpack SQL profiles from a staging table, even if they had a status of DISABLED in the staging table, they will all be set to ENABLED when querying DBA_SQL_PROFILES. That seems wrong - am I missing something here?
Details:
Current SQL profiles (select * from dba_sql_profiles):
NAME                           STATUS
SYS_SQLPROF_0145a03131fdc001   ENABLED
SYS_SQLPROF_01445c4c7d068003   DISABLED...then I take a backup of the SQL Profiles to a staging table:
exec DBMS_SQLTUNE.PACK_STGTAB_SQLPROF(profile_category => '%', staging_table_name => 'PRF_SQL_PROFILES_STAGING'); Data in the staging table (select * from PRF_SQL_PROFILES_STAGING):
PROFILE_NAME                   STATUS
SYS_SQLPROF_0145a03131fdc001   ENABLED
SYS_SQLPROF_01445c4c7d068003   DISABLED...so looks right in the staging table. The status is the same as the actual SQL profiles.
Now I load (unpack) the SQL Profiles from the staging table back into the DB:
exec DBMS_SQLTUNE.UNPACK_STGTAB_SQLPROF(replace => TRUE, staging_table_name => 'PRF_SQL_PROFILES_STAGING');Now I would expect the statuses to be the same as in the staging table - but (select * from dba_sql_profiles):
NAME                           STATUS
SYS_SQLPROF_0145a03131fdc001   ENABLED
SYS_SQLPROF_01445c4c7d068003   ENABLED   <-- ???Now the previously DISABLED SQL profille is ENABLED.
Any thoughts? Is this the expected behavior?
Thanks,
Andreas
Upate -
As a workaround I did the following as part of the unpack script:
declare
cursor c1 is
select profile_name
from PRF_SQL_PROFILES_STAGING
where status = 'DISABLED';
begin
for rec in c1 loop
DBMS_SQLTUNE.ALTER_SQL_PROFILE (name => rec.profile_name, attribute_name => 'STATUS', value => 'DISABLED');
end loop;
end;
/So basically I just disable any 'live' SQL Profiles that have a status of DISABLED in the staging table...
Works fine, but still curious whether all profiles enabled by default is expected behavior.

Hi,
You can get the details from the DBA_SQL_PROFILES. there are futher sys tables which can give some details
SQL Profiles hints from SQLPROF$ATTR,SQLPROF$ and SQLPROF$DESC
