Application server profiles are the runtime environments for application server processes. This topic describes common scenarios for creating application server profiles and provides links to profile creation procedures for each scenario.
Installing the core product files for a WebSphere Application Server product creates one or more profiles. Use the Profile Management tool to create additional application server runtime environments.
This topic describes how to create cell profiles, deployment manager profiles, stand-alone application server profiles, and custom profiles. The cell profile actually creates two profiles, a deployment manager profile and a federated application server profile. Each profile for a deployment manager or an application server is a runtime environment, with data files, configuration files, applications, and an administrative console. The custom profile is an empty node that you must federate into a deployment manager cell before it is of use.
Following this procedure results in reviewing common installation scenarios to find a possible match for the topology that you intend to create. This procedure shows how to use the Profile Management tool to create additional profiles.
After determining a possible topology, follow the steps in the overall procedure.
One step not mentioned in any of these scenarios is to prepare the operating system for installation. Useful links to the installation procedures for each installable component are in the list of related topics.
