Before creating or augmenting a profile, you must ensure
that a series of prerequisites have been met.
- You must have an existing installation of WebSphere® ESB. If
you do not, see Installing the software for
installation procedures.
- If you are not the user ID who installed the product, you must
have write permission to selected directories within the WebSphere ESB installation.
See Granting write permission of files and directories to non-root users for profile creation for instructions
on how to obtain these permissions. You must create your profiles
in a directory other than install_root/profiles.
Note: In
the case of i5/OS® the user
creating a profile must have *SECOFR user class or *ALLOBJ authority
on the system. Also profiles on i5/OS are
created under user_data_root/profiles/.. and
not install_root/profiles as
on distributed platforms.
- You must know the type of profile you want to create or augment.
For more information about profiles, see Profiles.
- You must follow the correct procedure to create or augment the
profile:
- You must manually add three schemas to the
common database when creating stand-alone server profiles using Microsoft® SQL Server 2005
with Messaging Engines (MEs). These schemas are XXXSS00, XXXSA00,
and XXXCM00. Where XXX is
the first three characters of the name of the common database.
For
network deployment refer to the following technote: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=2307&context=SSQH9M&context=SS7J6S&q1=v62readme&q2=1330280&uid=swg21330280&loc=en_US&cs=utf-8&lang=en.
- You cannot use the Profile Management Tool to create or augment
profiles on 64-bit platforms (except i5/OS)
or on the Linux® on System z® platform. To create
or augment profiles on these platforms, you must use the manageprofiles command.
See Creating profiles using the manageprofiles command for more
information.
- You must shut down any servers associated with a profile you plan
to augment.
- You must review Naming considerations for profiles, nodes, hosts, and cells for
information about reserved terms and issues that you must consider
when naming your profile, node, host, and cell (if applicable).
- You must have enough disk and temporary space to create or augment
the new profile. For information on space requirements, see WebSphere ESB detailed
system requirements at http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27006912 and
select the link to your version of WebSphere ESB.
The following prerequisites relate to product databases:
