Augmenting profiles using the Profile Management Tool

Use the Profile Management Tool to augment a WebSphere® Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment profile into a WebSphere ESB profile.

Before you begin

Ensure that the following prerequisites are satisfied:
  • The profile type you will augment to (stand-alone server, deployment manager, or custom) is the same as the type of the profile you will augment from.
  • You have reviewed the list of prerequisites for creating or augmenting a profile at Prerequisites for creating or augmenting profiles.
  • You have shut down any servers associated with the profile you plan to augment.
  • If you plan to augment a stand-alone server or custom profile, you have determined if it has already been federated to a deployment manager:
    • If the profile you want to augment has already been federated to a deployment manager, you cannot augment it to a WebSphere ESB profile using the Profile Management Tool.
    • If the profile you want to augment has not already been federated to a deployment manager, when you do federate it using the addNode command later, the following conditions must be true of the deployment manager with which it is federated in order for the augmentation to complete successfully:
      • It must be running.
      • It must have a JMX administrative port enabled. The default protocol is SOAP.
      • It must have already been augmented into a WebSphere ESB deployment manager profile, depending on the product you have installed.

Complete the following steps to augment a profile.

Procedure
  1. Start the WebSphere ESB Profile Management Tool.
    Run one of the following files:
    • For Linux operating systemFor UNIX operating system On Linux® and UNIX® platforms: install_root/bin/ProfileManagement/pmt.sh.
    • For Windows operating system On Windows® platforms: install_root\bin\ProfileManagement\pmt.bat.
    • For i5/OS operating system On i5/OS® platforms: pmt_client_installation\PMT\pmt.bat, which is by default C:\ProgramFiles\IBM\WebSphere\PMTClient

    See the topic Starting the Profile Management Tool for details on the different methods of starting this tool.

  2. The next step depends on whether there is an existing WebSphere Application Server, WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment with Web Services Feature Pack profile on your system.
    Is there an existing profile on the system? Next step
    No The Welcome panel is displayed. In this case, do not follow this procedure. Use the procedure described in Creating profiles using the Profile Management Tool.
    Yes The Create or augment profile panel is displayed. Proceed to step 3.
  3. In the Create or augment profile panel, click Augment.

    The Profile Management Tool opens in a separate window and the Welcome panel is displayed.

  4. In the Welcome panel, click Next.

    The Profile selection panel is displayed.

  5. In the Profile selection panel, highlight the profile to augment in the drop-down list, and click Next.

    All profiles are displayed as selections. If you augment a WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment profile, it must be from the version of WebSphere Application Server on which WebSphere ESB is installed.

    The Augment selection panel is displayed.

  6. In the Augment selection panel, choose to augment the profile into a WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus profile and then select Next.
    The Profile Management Tool displays a warning message if any of the following conditions occur:
    • The profile you selected to augment has a running server. You cannot augment the profile until you stop the server or click Back and choose another profile that does not have running servers.
    • The profile you selected to augment is federated. You cannot augment a federated profile. You must click Back and choose another profile that is not federated.
    • The profile you selected to augment is already augmented with the product you selected. You must click Back and choose another profile to augment.

    The Profile augmentation options panel is displayed.

  7. In the Profile augmentation options panel, choose to perform a Typical, an Advanced, or (for custom profiles) a Deployment environment profile augmentation, and click Next. The Typical option augments a profile with default configuration settings. The Advanced option lets you specify your own configuration values for a profile. The Deployment environment option lets you specify your own configuration values for a custom profile and choose the cluster or clusters to apply to the managed node.
  8. Before continuing to the next panel in the Profile Management Tool, proceed to one of the following topics to configure and complete augmentation of your profile.
    Type of profile augmentation you selected Procedure to complete profile augmentation based on your profile type (stand-alone server, deployment manager, or custom)
    Typical
    Advanced
    Deployment environment

Results

You are ready to configure your profile, which will define an extended operating environment of the type you specified (stand-alone server, deployment manager, or custom).
