Profiles for WebSphere Extended Deployment

A profile is a set of files that define the runtime environment. A profile also enhances and simplifies the product administration. To use WebSphere Extended Deployment features, at least one profile augmented with WebSphere Extended Deployment must exist. You can omit this task if you already augmented the profile through the Installation wizard.

After you install the product, you can create a profile that is augmented with WebSphere Extended Deployment in two ways:

Profiles supported by the WebSphere Extended Deployment Profile wizard

The WebSphere Extended Deployment Profile wizard supports the following profiles:
  • Deployment manager profile. This profile provides the necessary configuration files for starting and managing the deployment manager server that the profile contains. The profile also provides the necessary features to configure and manage WebSphere Application Server profiles, or nodes, that are contained in the deployment manager cell. The deployment manager profile contains an application server that is named dmgr, which is a unique application server that contains the deployment manager.
  • WebSphere Application Server profile. The default WebSphere Application Server profile provides the necessary configuration files for starting and managing the application server that the profile contains. This profile also provides the services and resources that are required to deploy and run enterprise applications.
  • Custom profile. A custom profile is an empty node that you can customize through the deployment manager to include application servers, clusters, or other Java processes, such as a messaging server. Create a custom profile on a distributed machine and add the node into the deployment manager cell to get started customizing the node.

The WebSphere Extended Deployment Profile wizard is an InstallShield for Multiplatforms (ISMP) application.
