Using the graphical user interface to create profiles

Use the graphical user interface (GUI), which is provided by the Profile Management Tool plug-in, to create profiles for WebSphere® eXtreme Scale. A profile is a set of files that define the runtime environment.

Before you begin

Note: If you are running WebSphere Application Server Version 6.0.2 or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment Version 6.0.2, you must use the wasprofile command to create or augment a profile for WebSphere eXtreme Scale as shown in the following example:
install_root/bin/wasprofile.sh|bat -create -profileName dmgr_01 
-templatePath "C:/ProgramFiles/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profileTemplates/xs_augment/dmgr"
See the wasprofile command in the WebSphere Application Server Information Center for more information.

About this task

To use the product features, the Profile Management Tool plug-in enables the GUI to assist you in setting up profiles, such as a WebSphere Application Server profile, a deployment manager profile, a cell profile, and a custom profile.

Procedure

Use the Profile Management Tool GUI to create profiles. Choose one of the following options to start the wizard: The Action Selection page is displayed only if at least one profile and the augment templates exist.

What to do next

You can create additional profiles or augment existing profiles. To restart the Profile Management tool, run the ./pmt.sh|bat command from the install_root/bin/ProfileManagement directory, or select Profile Management Tool in the First steps console.

Start a catalog service, start containers, and configure TCP ports in your WebSphere Application Server environment. See Administering WebSphere eXtreme Scale with WebSphere Application Server for more information.
