Starting the Profile Management Tool

Before you start the Profile Management Tool, be aware of the restrictions and ensure that certain prerequisites are met. You can start the Profile Management Tool in several ways, depending on the platform on which it is running.

Restrictions:
  • You cannot use the Profile Management Tool to create or augment profiles on 64-bit platforms (with the exception of i5/OS®) or the Linux® on System z® platform.
  • For i5/OS operating system When WebSphere® ESB is installed on an i5/OS system, the Profile Management Tool will run only in stand-alone mode. The tool cannot be started from the Application Server Toolkit (AST) tool.
  • For i5/OS operating system The Browse buttons on the Profile Management Tool panels are disabled.
  • For Vista operating system Restriction for a non-root user with multiple instances: If you install multiple instances of WebSphere ESB as the root user and give a non-root user access to only a subset of those instances, the Profile Management Tool does not function correctly for the non-root user. In addition, a com.ibm.wsspi.profile.WSProfileException or Access is denied message occurs in the install_root\bin\ProfileManagement\pmt.bat file. By default, non-root users do not have access to the program file directories, which is the default installation location for the product. To resolve this issue, the non-root user can install the product or be given permission to access the other product instances.
For Linux operating systemFor UNIX operating systemFor Windows operating system The language of the Profile Management Tool is determined by the default language on the system. If the default language is not one of the supported languages, then English is used. You can override the system's default language by starting the Profile Management Tool from the command line and using the java user.language setting to replace the default language. Run the following command:
  • For Linux operating systemFor UNIX operating system install_root/java/bin/java -Duser.language=locale install_root/bin/ProfileManagement/startup.jar
  • For Windows operating system install_root\java\bin\java -Duser.language=locale install_root\bin\ProfileManagement\startup.jar
For example, to start the Profile Management Tool in the German language on a Linux system, type the following command:
install_root/java/bin/java -Duser.language=de install_root/  \
bin/ProfileManagement/startup.jar 

Starting the tool on all platforms

Start the tool on any platform in one of the following ways:

Starting the tool on i5/OS platforms

For i5/OS operating system The Profile Management Tool Client for i5/OS is a Java™ application you must install on a Windows® workstation. The tool runs on the Windows workstation as a client for i5/OS and remotely connects to the i5/OS server hosting the WebSphere ESB installation. To install and start the tool, do the following:

  1. Install the Profile Management Tool Client for i5/OS on the Windows workstation in one of two ways:
    • From the product launchpad, by clicking WebSphere Profile Management Tool Client for i5/OS installation.
    • By clicking \PMTClient\PMTInstaller.exe in the product root directory.
    The installation creates an entry in the Windows Start menu.
  2. Start the tool from the Windows Start menu by clicking Start > Programs or All Programs > IBM® WebSphere > Profile Management Tool Client for i5/OS. A panel is displayed on which you can sign on to the System i server.
  3. On the sign-on panel, enter the remote i5/OS system name, your i5/OS user profile, and a password, and click OK.
  4. On the next panel, select which installation (if there is more than one installation of WebSphere ESB) and which port number you want to use. Then click Launch Profile Management Tool.
Note: The default port number is 1099. You can change this to a different port. If that port number is busy, an error message is displayed. Select a different port number to continue.

If the Profile Management Tool Client is connecting to a server with a newer version of WebSphere ESB, you receive a message asking if you want to update the Profile Management Tool Client to match the version on the server. If you click Yes, the Profile Management Tool Client is updated automatically and the Profile Management Tool opens.

If the Profile Management Tool Client is connecting to a server with an older version of WebSphere ESB, you receive a message telling you to install the same version of the Profile Management Tool Client as is on the server. You cannot access the Profile Management Tool until you install a version of the Profile Management Tool Client that matches the version on the server.

Starting the tool on Linux and UNIX platforms

For Linux operating systemFor UNIX operating system You can start the tool on Linux and UNIX® platforms by running the command install_root/bin/ProfileManagement/pmt.sh.

Starting the tool on Windows platforms

For Windows operating system You can use the following methods to start the tool on Windows platforms:
