Configuring profiles for a deployment environment

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.

Before you begin

This topic assumes that you are using the Profile Management Tool to create or augment profiles and are following the procedure in either Creating profiles using the Profile Management Tool or Augmenting profiles using the Profile Management Tool. As a result, it is assumed that you have started the Profile Management Tool, have chosen to create a deployment manager profile or create or augment a custom profile, and have selected the Deployment environment profile creation or augmentation option.

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.
