After you install the product, you can augment an existing
profile to make it compatible with WebSphere
Extended Deployment . To use product 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:
pcatwindows.exe
pcatUNIX_platform.platform_extension
- Review the Welcome page, 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.
- From the Choose the profile
to augment list, select the profile to augment and click Next.
- Review the profile summary and
click Next. Click Launch the First Steps Console to
go directly to the Profile and Migration wizards.
- Click Finish to exit the
wizard.
- 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 the product.
What to do next
You can now direct WebSphere Extended Deployment
elements from one place to another by using the First steps console.
