What to do next
You can create a plug-ins profile using the manageprofiles command.
The
following is an example of using the
manageprofiles command
to create a default plug-ins profile.
manageprofiles -create
-templatePath /QIBM/ProdData/WebSphere/Plugins/V8/webserver/profileTemplates/http
-profileName PluginsSrv01
Note: After you create
a profile successfully, the console prints a message that indicates
success and advises you to check the AboutThisProfile.txt file.

when you create a plug-ins profile on IBM i.
The following
is an example of using the
manageprofiles command
to make profile PluginsSrv01 the default profile.
manageprofiles -setDefaultName -profileName PluginsSrv01
