Learn how to create or augment profiles using the Profile Management
Tool with default configuration settings.
Before you begin
The topics in this section assume 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 or augment a stand-alone server, deployment manager,
or custom profile, and have selected the
Typical profile
creation or augmentation option.
About this task
When you choose to configure profiles with default values, the
Profile Management Tool assigns default values to ports, profile location,
profile names, node, host, and cell (when applicable), and also to any required
database configurations.
For stand-alone server profiles, the Profile
Management Tool also does the following tasks:
- Installs the administrative console.
- Lets you enable administrative security.
- Configures Business Space powered by WebSphere using
Derby Embedded.
- Configures the Common Event Infrastructure using Derby
Embedded.
- Configures the Common database using Derby Embedded.
- Creates a system service to run the server if your operating system and
the privileges of your user account permit the creation of services.
For deployment manager profiles, the Profile Management Tool also
does the following tasks:
- Creates a system service to run the server if your operating system and
the privileges of your user account permit the creation of services.
- Configures the Common database using Derby Network Server.
For custom profiles, the Profile Management
Tool also lets you federate the node to an existing deployment manager during
the creation or augmentation process, or federate it later using the addNode command.
If you choose to federate the node to an existing deployment manager, that
deployment manager must be configured to use Derby Network Server.
