For stand-alone server profiles, you can configure Business Space powered by WebSphere® using the Profile Management Tool.
You can use the Profile Management Tool as part of the installer program when installing your product, or you can start the Profile Management Tool later after product installation. In addition, you can use the Profile Management Tool capabilities from the command line by using the manageprofiles command parameter -configureBSpace after product installation. In all three of these situations, Business Space is installed with the same database product as the database product you designated for the Common database. For WebSphere Process Server, WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, and WebSphere Business Monitor, if you selected a database that is not supported with Business Space, the Profile Management Tool configures Business Space with the Derby Embedded database.
The
Profile Management Tool is not available with WebSphere Process Server for z/OS and WebSphere Enterprise Service
Bus for z/OS. For those products, configure Business Space using the administrative
console.
For deployment manager and custom profiles, you must use pages on the administrative console or the Deployment Environment Configuration wizard. See "Configuring Business Space using the administrative console" or "Configuring Business Space using the Deployment Environment Configuration wizard".
For more advanced configuration options on a stand-alone server profile, you must use pages on the administrative console to configure Business Space. For example, if you want to designate a data source that is different than the database you selected for your profile (the WebSphere Business Monitor database, the WebSphere Business Modeler Publishing Server database, or the WebSphere Process Server common database), you must use the administrative console to configure Business Space.
Before using Business Space, set up security that you need to use with Business Space and the widgets your team is using. For more information, see "Setting up security for Business Space."
