Use the Profile Management Tool to augment a WebSphere® Application Server or WebSphere Application Server
Network Deployment profile into a WebSphere ESB profile.
Before you begin
Ensure that the following prerequisites are satisfied:
- The profile type you will augment to (stand-alone server, deployment
manager, or custom) is the same as the type of the profile you will
augment from.
- You have reviewed the list of prerequisites for creating or augmenting
a profile at Prerequisites for creating or augmenting profiles.
- You have shut down any servers associated with the profile you
plan to augment.
- If you plan to augment a stand-alone server or custom profile,
you have determined if it has already been federated to a deployment
manager:
- If the profile you want to augment
has already been federated to a deployment manager, you cannot augment
it to a WebSphere ESB profile using the Profile Management Tool.
- If the profile you want to augment has not already been federated
to a deployment manager, when you do federate it using the addNode command
later, the following conditions must be true of the deployment manager
with which it is federated in order for the augmentation to complete
successfully:
- It must be running.
- It must have a JMX administrative port enabled. The default protocol
is SOAP.
- It must have already been augmented into a WebSphere ESB deployment
manager profile, depending on the product you have installed.
Complete the following steps to augment a profile.
Procedure
- Start the WebSphere ESB Profile
Management Tool.
See the topic Starting the Profile Management Tool for
details on the different methods of starting this tool.
- The next step depends on whether there
is an existing WebSphere Application
Server, WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment or WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment with Web Services Feature Pack profile on
your system.
Is there an existing profile on the system? |

The Welcome panel is displayed. In this case, do not follow
this procedure. Use the procedure described in Creating profiles using the Profile Management Tool. |
Yes |
The Create or augment profile panel is displayed. Proceed
to step 3. |
- In the Create or augment profile panel,
click Augment.
The Profile Management
Tool opens in a separate window and the Welcome panel is displayed.
- In the Welcome panel, click Next.
The
Profile selection panel is displayed.
- In the Profile selection panel, highlight the profile to
augment in the drop-down list, and click Next.
All profiles are displayed as selections. If you
augment a WebSphere Application
Server or WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment profile, it must be from the version of WebSphere Application Server
on which WebSphere ESB is
installed.
The Augment selection panel is displayed.
- In the Augment selection panel, choose
to augment the profile into a WebSphere Enterprise
Service Bus profile and then select Next.
The Profile Management Tool displays a warning message if
any of the following conditions occur:
- The profile you selected to augment has a running server. You
cannot augment the profile until you stop the server or click Back and
choose another profile that does not have running servers.
- The profile you selected to augment is federated.
You cannot augment a federated profile. You must click Back and
choose another profile that is not federated.
- The profile you selected to augment is already augmented with
the product you selected. You must click Back and
choose another profile to augment.
The Profile augmentation options panel is displayed.
- In the Profile augmentation options panel,
choose to perform a Typical, an Advanced,
or (for custom profiles) a Deployment environment profile
augmentation, and click Next. The Typical option
augments a profile with default configuration settings. The Advanced option
lets you specify your own configuration values for a profile. The Deployment
environment option lets you specify your own configuration
values for a custom profile and choose the cluster or clusters to
apply to the managed node.
- Before continuing to the next panel in the
Profile Management Tool, proceed to one of the following topics to
configure and complete augmentation of your profile.
