Before you begin

[AIX HP-UX Linux Solaris Windows] This task assumes a basic familiarity with the manageprofiles command, the Profile Management tool, system commands, and profile concepts.

[i5/OS] This task assumes a basic familiarity with the manageprofiles command to create additional profiles.

  • 64-bit platforms
  • [Linux] The Linux for zSeries platform

[i5/OS] The Profile Management tool is unavailable for the i5/OS platform. You can use the manageprofiles QShell script to create additional profiles. You can also use the IBM Web Administration for i5/OS graphical user interface to create stand-alone application server profiles.

[Linux] [HP-UX] [Solaris] [AIX] Non-root users can create their own profiles so that they can manage their own application servers. Typically, non-root users manage application servers for development purposes.

You can delete profiles through the manageprofiles command or by other means if necessary. You might delete a profile if the configuration that you specified in the profile is not what you want.

Perform any of the following tasks to create or delete profiles.
