Learn how to create new WebSphere® ESB profiles.
You can create profiles from a command line by using the manageprofiles command,
or interactively by using the Profile Management Tool graphical user
interface (GUI).
About this task
You can create any combination of deployment manager,
stand-alone server, or custom profiles. Each time you use the Profile
Management Tool or manageprofiles command one profile
is created.
Restriction: You
cannot use the Profile Management Tool to create or augment profiles
on 64-bit platforms (except for i5/OS®)
or on the Linux® on System z® platform. To create
profiles on these platforms, you must use the
manageprofiles command.
See
Creating profiles using the manageprofiles command for more
information.
Procedure
Decide whether to create the profile from a command line
by using the manageprofiles command, or interactively
by using the Profile Management Tool. Use the command line for speed
and the ability to reuse the command line (or the properties file)
if you want to create similar profiles. Use the Profile Management
Tool if you want a wizard help you through the procedure. - To create the profile by using the manageprofiles command,
see the topic Creating profiles using the manageprofiles command.
- To create the profile by using the Profile Management Tool, see
the topic Creating profiles using the Profile Management Tool, which
has you:
- Start the Profile Management Tool.
- Select to create a WebSphere ESB profile.
- Select the type of profile to create (stand-alone server, deployment
manager, or custom).
- Choose the type of profile creation you want to perform:
- Typical (the default), which creates a profile with default
configuration settings.
- Advanced, which lets you specify your own configuration
values for a profile.
- Deployment environment (for deployment manager or custom
profiles only), which 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. You specify your own configuration values
for the profile.
- Based on the type of profile creation you select, links within
the topic Creating profiles using the Profile Management Tool direct
you to the proper interactive procedure to complete the profile creation
you want.
