Configuration Manager stores your settings
for deploying a Content Platform Engine application
instance in a configuration profile. The profile defines the application
server settings, the JDBC data source settings, the login modules
settings, the directory service provider (LDAP) settings, the Content Platform Engine bootstrap settings,
and the application deployment settings. You must create a new profile
for each Content Platform Engine instance
that you are configuring.
About this task
The information for a profile is collected
in XML files in the form of properties and values that describe the
associated configuration and deployment tasks. You must provide values
for the profile properties that are specific to each configuration
at your site, such as the application server name. The XML files are
stored in a directory that is unique to a given profile. Because the
profile name is used for the directory name and for the configuration
profile file name, you must provide a profile name that is a valid
directory name for your operating system. By default, the profiles
are stored in the ce_install_path/tools/configure/profiles directory,
where ce_install_path is the location where Content Platform Engine is installed. For more
information on profiles, see Configuration profile concepts.
Tip: For more information on the properties and values that
you set in Configuration Manager,
roll your mouse over the property name to view the tool tip help for
the property.
To create a configuration profile:
Procedure
- Open your completed Installation and Upgrade
Worksheet file.
Tip: In the worksheet file,
verify that the command is enabled.
To view only Configuration Manager values,
filter by CM: Create New Installation Profile in
the Installation or Configuration Program column.
- Start the Create New Installation Profile wizard
by selecting .
- Complete the wizard screens by using the values in your
worksheet.
Attention: WebSphere® Application
Server and
Oracle WebLogic Server: If you are creating the
profile for a highly available clustered environment, use the profile
for the
WebSphere Application
Server deployment
manager, or the domain for the
Oracle WebLogic Server administrative
server.
- Optional: WebSphere Application
Server and Oracle WebLogic Server only. In the Set
Properties for Application Server screen, click Test
Connection to test the connection between Configuration Manager and the application
server by using the information that you provided. The
test is optional, and you can proceed in the wizard even if the test
fails. If the test fails, make sure that the application server is
running and that the application server property values that you entered
match the values that are defined in your application server.
Results
The profile you created is displayed as an icon
in the profile pane (left pane), along with icons for the tasks you
selected. By default, the
Deploy Application task
is disabled. You must enable the task later in the configuration process.
