Learn how to create or augment a profile with customized
configuration settings to be used in a new or existing deployment
environment pattern. Use the Profile Management Tool to configure
the profile.
About this task
Select the
Deployment environment profile
creation or augmentation option to set up a fully configured profile
for your deployment environment. This option configures and installs
all components needed for
WebSphere ESB to
work. The following components are configured as part of this option:
- Common Event Infrastructure
- Service Component Architecture
By choosing the Deployment environment profile
creation or augmentation option, you can also assign customized values
to ports, to the location of the profile, to names of the profile,
node, host, and cell (when applicable), and to any required database
configurations.
For deployment manager profiles, the tool also
lets you do the following:
- Supply an administrative user ID and password for administrative
security.
- If your operating system and the privileges of your user account
permit, create a system service to run the server.
- Choose the deployment environment pattern to use for your installation.
For custom profiles, you can also use the tool to federate
the node to an existing deployment manager, which already has a defined
deployment environment pattern. You can also specify the clusters
to define on that deployment environment.
See
the following topics for more information:
- Deployment environment patterns. A deployment
environment pattern specifies the constraints and requirements of
the components and resources involved in a deployment environment.
The patterns are designed to meet the needs of most business requirements
and are intended to help you create a deployment environment in the
most straightforward way.
- Deployment environment functions. To design a
robust deployment environment, you must understand the functions that
each cluster can provide in a particular IBM-supplied deployment environment
pattern or a custom deployment environment. This knowledge can help
you make the correct decisions as to which deployment environment
pattern best meets your needs.
The type of configuration is dependent on your profile
type. Choose one of the following subtopics based on your profile
type.
