Configuring the product after installation

Use the Profile Management Tool in the WebSphere Customization Toolbox to create a profile, and use the First steps console to test and verify your WebSphere® Application Server environment.

Before you begin

Install the product.

Procedure

  1. Start the Profile Management Tool to create a new profile.
    Tip: At the end of product installation, select Profile Management Tool if you want to open the Profile Management Tool when the installation is finished.
  2. Start the First steps console for your server.
    Tip: At the end of profile creation, select Launch the First steps console if you want to open the First steps console for the profile when profile creation is finished. This First steps console belongs to the profile that you just created. Each profile has its own First steps console.

    The First steps console is an easy way to start using the product. The console provides access to the administrative console, WebSphere Customization Toolbox, installation verification test, and other activities.

    See the description of the firststeps command for more information.

  3. Click Installation verification on the First steps console.

    The installation verification test starts the server process and runs several tests to verify that the process can start without errors.

    See Using the installation verification tool for more information.

  4. Click WebSphere Customization Toolbox on the First steps console and use its tools to create a new profile or migrate a profile from an earlier version.

    You can create multiple servers on your system.
