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
- 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:

pcatUNIX_platform.platform_extension
- Review the Welcome panel and click Next.
- 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.

select the profile to augment and click Next.Select the existing
profile from the list that you want to augment, and click Next.

If you silently augment the profile, verify that the wasprofile_augment_profilename.log file
is in the logs/wasprofile directory.

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.
