Application server profiles are the run-time environments for application server processes. This topic describes common scenarios for creating application server profiles and provides links to profile creation procedures for each scenario.
Before you begin
Install the core product files for a WebSphere Application Server product before using the Profile creation wizard to create additional application server run-time environments.Why and when to perform this task
This topic describes how to use the Profile creation wizard to create application server profiles. Each profile is a run-time environment for the application server that it defines, with data files, configuration files, applications, and an administrative console.
Step for this task
The installation procedure creates an application server during installation named server1. However, you can use the Profile creation wizard to create more stand-alone application servers on a machine where server1 or another application server already exists.
Result
You can create additional application server processes using the Profile creation wizard.
What to do next
After installing the product and optionally adding more application servers with the Profile creation wizard, you are ready to deploy applications to test the environment.
