Content Platform Engine, Version 5.2.1              

Creating a new configuration profile

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

  1. Open your completed Installation and Upgrade Worksheet file.
    Tip: In the worksheet file, verify that the Data > Filter > AutoFilter command is enabled. To view only Configuration Manager values, filter by CM: Create New Installation Profile in the Installation or Configuration Program column.
  2. Start the Create New Installation Profile wizard by selecting File > New Installation Profile.
  3. Complete the wizard screens by using the values in your worksheet.
    High availability clustered server environmentsAttention: 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.
  4. 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.
