Augmenting an existing WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment stand-alone server profile into a WebSphere Process Server stand-alone server profile

Use this procedure to augment an existing WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment stand-alone server profile into a WebSphere Process Server stand-alone server profile using the Profile Wizard graphical user interface (GUI).

Before you begin

Before using this procedure, ensure that:
  • You have an existing installation of WebSphere Process Server with an underlying installation of WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment. If you do not, see Installing the product for installation procedures.
  • You want to augment an existing WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment stand-alone server profile to a WebSphere Process Server stand-alone server profile, and that you want to do so interactively. The existing profile must be a WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment, version 6.0.0.x or 6.0.1.x profile.

    Icon indicating 6.0.1 content only If you are using WebSphere Process Server, version 6.0.1, you can also augment WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment, version 6.0.2.x profiles.

    See Creating and augmenting profiles by using the Profile Wizard for descriptions of other profile creation or augmentation procedures.

  • You determine if the stand-alone server profile you want to augment has already been federated to a deployment manager. If it has, you cannot augment it to a WebSphere Process Server profile.
  • If you plan to locate the repository for WebSphere Process Server on a remote server, that you create it before beginning this procedure. The Profile Wizard will let you create a repository on the local server or use an existing one on a remote server.
  • You have enough disk and temporary space to augment the profile. See Required disk space for the minimum disk space required.
  • If you have enabled global security on the installation of WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment that contains the profile you want to augment, you disable it before augmenting the profile. For information on enabling and disabling global security, see the WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment, version 6.0 information center at http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/v6r0/index.jsp.
  • If you plan to use DB2 Universal Database for your repository, you perform the following steps before augmenting the profile:
    • If you are configuring a DB2 database on a DB2 client with the server on a remote system, make sure the client system is configured to communicate with the server and that the DB2 node is cataloged. For more information, refer to the DB2 Universal Database documentation.
    • Icon indicating Linux platforms Icon indicating UNIX platforms On Linux and UNIX platforms: If you are configuring a DB2 database on a Linux or UNIX system, source the database environment by doing the following:
      1. Modify /etc/group and make sure root is in the same group as the db2instance.
      2. Source the database environment by running the db2instance/sqllib/db2profile script (replace db2instance with the name of your database instance).

Why and when to perform this task

To augment an existing WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment stand-alone server profile into a WebSphere Process Server stand-alone server profile, use the following procedure.

Steps for this task

  1. Log on as the root user on a Linux or UNIX system, or as a member of the Administrator group on a Windows system.
  2. Start the WebSphere Process Server Profile Wizard.

    See Starting the Profile Wizard for descriptions of the many ways to start the Profile Wizard on various platforms.

    The wizard loads the Java 2 SDK and then displays its Welcome panel.

  3. In the Welcome panel, select Next.
    If an unfederated WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment profile exists for augmentation, one of two Existing profile detection panels is displayed. Do one of the following, depending on whether WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment is installed:
    • If WebSphere Application Server is installed, select the Augment an existing WebSphere Application Server profile radio button, highlight the profile to augment from the drop-down list, and select Next. Only unfederated profiles are displayed as selections. The profile you select to augment must be from the version of WebSphere Application Server on which WebSphere Process Server is installed. The Service Component Architecture configuration panel is displayed. Proceed to step 6.
    • If WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment is installed, select the Augment an existing WebSphere Application Server profile radio button and select Next. The Profile type selection panel is displayed. Proceed to step 4.
    Important: If an Existing profile detection panel is not displayed, no profile exists for augmentation. In this case, do not follow this procedure. Instead, cancel the augmentation and review the profile creation procedures described in Creating and augmenting profiles by using the Profile Wizard.
  4. In the Profile type selection panel, select the Stand-alone WebSphere Process Server profile radio button, then select Next.

    The list of profile types will include only those types which have valid WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment profiles that can be augmented into WebSphere Process Server profiles.

  5. In the Profile augmentation selection panel, choose the profile you want to augment from the drop-down list and select Next.

    The list includes only those profiles of the type selected. Only unfederated profiles are displayed as selections. The profile you select to augment must be from the version of WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment on which WebSphere Process Server is installed.

  6. In the Service Component Architecture configuration panel, choose whether to configure the Service Integration Bus in a secured mode. To configure the Service Integration Bus in a secured mode, perform the following steps:
    1. Select the Configure the Service Integration Bus in a secured mode check box.
    2. Enter the user ID and password, and confirm the password, used to authenticate with a secured Service Integration Bus.
    3. Select Next.

    To not configure the Service Integration Bus in a secured mode, leave the check box clear and select Next.

  7. In the Common Event Infrastructure configuration panel, configure the Common Event Infrastructure by performing the following steps:
    1. Enter the user ID and password, and confirm the password, used to authenticate with the WebSphere Messaging queue manager.
    2. Enter the WebSphere server name. The default value is server1.
    3. Choose the database product you want to use for your configuration, or accept the default value of Cloudscape V5.1.
    4. Select Next.
    One of the following panels is displayed:
    • If you accept the default value of Cloudscape V5.1, the Business Process Choreographer configuration panel is displayed. Proceed to step 9.
    • If you select DB2 Universal OS/390 V7.1 or DB2 Universal OS/390 V8.1, a message panel is displayed, informing you that you must create your data source and database outside of the Profile Wizard. If you still want to use one of these databases and agree to create your data source and database outside of the Profile Wizard, select Next and review the topic Installing > Configuring the product after installation > Configuring the Common Event Infrastructure > Post-installation configuration > Configuring the event database > Configuring a DB2 database on a z/OS system in this information center. The Business Process Choreographer configuration panel is displayed. Proceed to step 9. If you want to select another database instead, select Back.
    • If you select any other database, the Additional database configuration information for Common Event Infrastructure panel is displayed, with fields specific to the database you have selected. Proceed to step 8.
  8. On the Additional database configuration information for Common Event Infrastructure panel, complete the fields as detailed in Additional database configuration information for Common Event Infrastructure. Return to this step when you have followed the instructions in that topic.
  9. In the Business Process Choreographer configuration panel, choose whether to create a sample Business Process Choreographer configuration. Create one by performing the following steps:
    1. Select the Create a sample Business Process Choreographer check box.
    2. Enter the user ID and password, and confirm the password, used to authenticate when connected to a Secured Service Integration Bus.
    3. Enter the name of the administrative group that will be allowed to administer Business Process Choreographer.

      For example, if the domain user registry is LDAP, enter a group name for the security role like, cn=MyGroup,o=MyCompany,c=MyCountry. If you are using Windows group administration, enter a group name such as Administrators.

    4. Select Next.

    To not create a Business Process Choreographer configuration, leave the check box clear and select Next.

    If you plan to use Business Process Choreographer in a production environment, do not create the sample configuration. To configure Business Process Choreographer for use in a production environment, see the topics under Installing > Configuring the product after installation > Configuring Business Process Choreographer in this information center.

    3. Enter your database name or accept the default WPRCSDB. If the database name WPRCSDB is already associated with another WebSphere Process Server profile, you must use a different database name.
    4. Select Next.
    One of the following panels is displayed:
    • If you select the default value of Cloudscape, the Profile summary panel is displayed. Proceed to step 13.
    • If you select any other database, the Additional database configuration information panel is displayed, with fields specific to the database you have selected. Proceed to step 12.
      Restriction: The business rule group and selector components support only Cloudscape, DB2 Universal, DB2 Universal OS/390 V7.1, DB2 Universal OS/390 V8.1, or DB2 CLI for their repository.

      Icon indicating 6.0.1 content only In WebSphere Process Server, version 6.0.1, these components also support Oracle OCI (Oracle OCI client) and Oracle Thin (Oracle Thin).

      If you select any database other than these, all components, except the business rule group and selector components, will be configured to use the database you specify; the business rule group and selector components will be configured to use Cloudscape.

    Restriction: You cannot create a new database if you are using DB2 Universal OS/390 V7.1, DB2 Universal OS/390 V8.1, Oracle OCI, or Oracle Thin as your database product. If you select one of these combinations on the Database configuration panel, a message panel is displayed, informing you that you must either use an existing database or select a different database product. Select OK to close this message panel, and make different selections on the Database configuration panel.
  12. On the Additional database configuration information panel, complete the fields as detailed in Additional database configuration information for common databases, and select Next.
  13. In the Profile summary panel, review the profile characteristics and select Next to augment the profile or select Back to change the characteristics of the profile.

    The Profile Wizard shows a progress panel to indicate that the profile is being augmented. If no errors are detected, the Profile augmentation is complete panel is displayed at the end of the process.

    Attention: If errors are detected during profile augmentation, other panels might be displayed in place of the Profile augmentation is complete panel. Examples include the following:
    • Profile augmentation is complete with warnings panel, which indicates that a profile was augmented but warnings were generated.
    • Profile augmentation is incomplete panel, which indicates that a profile was augmented but exists in an unusable state.
    • Profile augmentation failed panel, which indicates that a profile was unable to be augmented.
    Each of these panels identifies the log file to reference in order to troubleshoot the problems. Also refer to Recovering from profile creation or augmentation failure for troubleshooting tips.
  14. Ensure the check box to launch the First Steps console is selected, and select Finish to close the Profile Wizard and start the First Steps console.
