WebSphere Extended Deployment, Version 6.0.x
             Operating Systems: AIX, HP-UX, Linux, Solaris, Windows


Augmenting profiles

After you install the product, you can augment an existing profile to make it compatible with WebSphere Extended Deployment . To use WebSphere Extended Deployment features, at least one profile augmented for the product must exist in your environment.

Before you begin

You must first create a base profile by using the WebSphere Application Server Profile Management tool. Next, use the WebSphere Extended Deployment Profile Creation wizard to augment the profile. You must determine the correct WebSphere Application Server on which you installed WebSphere Extended Deployment to successfully augment the profile.
  • WebSphere Extended Deployment 6.0.2 on WebSphere Application Server 6.0.2: Create a profile by using the WebSphere Application Server 6.0.x Profile Creation tool.
  • WebSphere Extended Deployment 6.0.2 on WebSphere Application Server 6.1: Create a profile by using the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment 6.1 Profile Management tool.
    Attention:
    WebSphere Extended Deployment 6.0.2 does not officially support the cell profile type, but you can still augment the profile if you created it by clicking Cell (deployment manager and a federated application server) from the WebSphere Application Server 6.1 Profile Creation wizard panel. You must create the WebSphere Extended Deployment cell by adding nodes to a deployment manager.

About this task

This process is useful if you did not augment your profile during installation, or if you created a base profile after installation and want to augment it. For more information on how to manage profiles, see Task overview: Application profiling.

Procedure

  1. Launch the Profile Creation wizard for WebSphere Extended Deployment. From the bin/ProfileCreator/XD directory where WebSphere Extended Deployment is installed, issue the following command:
    • [For Windows operating system] pcatwindows.exe
    • [For Linux operating system] [For Unix operating system] pcatUNIX_platform.platform_extension
  2. Review the Welcome panel and click Next.
  3. If a profile is detected and can be augmented for WebSphere Extended Deployment, the Existing WebSphere Extended Deployment Profile Detected panel is displayed. Select Augment an existing WebSphere Application Server profile for Extended Deployment and click Next.
  4. From the Choose the profile to augment list, select the profile to augment and click Next.Select the existing profile from the list that you want to augment, and click Next.
  5. Review the profile summary and click Next. Click Launch the First Steps Console to go directly to the Profile and Migration wizards.
  6. Click Finish to exit the wizard.
  7. If you use the wizard to augment the profile, verify that the xd_pcatlog.txt file is in the profile_location/logs directory. If you silently augment the profile, verify that the wasprofile_augment_profilename.log file is in the logs/wasprofile directory.

Results

You successfully augmented the profile for WebSphere Extended Deployment .

What to do next

You can now direct WebSphere Extended Deployment elements from one place to another by using the First Steps Console.
