Creating profiles using the Profile Management Tool

Use the Profile Management Tool graphical user interface (GUI) to create a stand-alone server profile, a deployment manager profile, or a custom profile.

Before you begin

Review the list of prerequisites for creating or augmenting a profile at Prerequisites for creating or augmenting profiles.

Complete the following steps to create a profile.

Procedure
  1. Start the WebSphere® ESB Profile Management Tool.
    Use one of the following commands:
    • For Linux operating systemFor UNIX operating system On Linux® and UNIX® platforms: install_root/bin/ProfileManagement/pmt.sh
    • For Windows operating system On Windows® platforms: install_root\bin\ProfileManagement\pmt.bat
    • For i5/OS operating system On i5/OS® platforms: pmt_client_installation\PMT\pmt.bat, which is by default C:\ProgramFiles\IBM\WebSphere\PMTClient

    See the topic Starting the Profile Management Tool for details on the different methods of starting this tool.

    The next step depends on whether you have an existing profile for WebSphere Application Server, WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment, or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment with Web Services Feature Pack on your system.

    Is an existing profile on the system? Next step
    No The Welcome panel is displayed. Proceed to step 3.
    Yes The Create or augment profile panel is displayed. Proceed to step 2.
  2. In the Create or augment profile panel, click Create.

    The Profile Management Tool opens in a separate window and the Welcome panel is displayed.

  3. In the Welcome panel, click Next.

    The Environment Selection panel is displayed.

  4. In the Environment Selection panel, select WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus and click Next.
    Important: Do not select the entries Cell, Deployment manager, Application server, or Custom profile from this panel. These entries represent WebSphere Application Server profile types. If you select WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus in this panel, you ensure that the profile you create will be for that product type. You will specify which type of profile (stand-alone server, deployment manager, or custom) to create in a later step.

    The next step depends on whether your installation of WebSphere ESB is installed over WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment :

    WebSphere Application Server product underlying WebSphere ESB Next step
    WebSphere Application Server You can create only a stand-alone server profile, so the Profile creation options panel is displayed. Proceed to step 6.
    WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment You must first choose which type of profile you want to create from the Profile type selection panel. Proceed to step 5.
  5. In the Profile Type Selection panel, select the type of profile you want to create and click Next.

    The Profile Creation Options panel is displayed.

  6. In the Profile Creation Options panel, choose to perform a Typical, an Advanced, or (for deployment manager or custom profiles) a Deployment environment profile creation, and click Next. The Typical option creates a profile with default configuration settings. The Advanced option lets you specify your own configuration values for a profile. The Deployment environment option also lets you specify your own configuration values for a profile, plus lets you create a deployment manager and choose a deployment environment pattern for it or choose a cluster or clusters to apply to a managed node.
  7. Before continuing to the next panel in the Profile Management Tool, proceed to one of the following topics to configure and complete creation of your profile.
    Type of profile creation you selected Procedure to complete profile creation based on your profile type (stand-alone server, deployment manager, or custom)
    Typical
    Advanced
    Deployment environment
    Important: If you do not have an existing deployment manager and deployment environment pattern, be sure to follow the instructions under Configuring deployment manager profiles for a deployment environment when creating profiles on your first workstation. Follow those under Configuring custom profiles (managed nodes) for a deployment environment when creating profiles on subsequent workstations.
    Restriction:

    Database administrator (DBA) privileges are required for the database configuration panels that are part of creating a deployment manager profile for a deployment environment. If you plan to use the deployment environment feature of the product installer or Profile Management Tool, and want to use a database other than Derby Network Server as your database product, the user ID you provide for the "User name to authenticate with the database" field on the database configuration panels must have DBA privileges.

Results

You are ready to configure your profile, which defines a new operating environment of the type you specified (stand-alone server, deployment manager, or custom).
