You can use response files to create profile definitions silently;
that is, without using the graphical user interface.
Why and when to perform this task
A text file, called a response file, contains the definition of
a WebSphere Process Server profile. You can create a profile silently by customizing
the profile response file for the profile that you intend to create. The installation
program reads this file to determine profile creation option values when you
install silently. You can also create additional profiles by using response
files after initial installation.

Possible profile types
are a stand-alone profile, a deployment manager profile, and a custom profile.
See the following topics for instructions on how to customize and use the
response files during and after product installation.
- Creating a stand-alone server profile silently --
The response file responsefile.pcaw.standAloneProfile.txt can be
used to silently create a stand-alone process server profile.
- Creating a deployment manager profile silently --
The response file responsefile.pcaw.dmgrProfile.txt can be used to
silently create a deployment manager profile.
- Creating a custom profile silently --
The response file responsefile.pcaw.managedProfile.txt can be used
to silently create a custom profile. A custom profile must be federated into
a deployment manager cell to become operational. Because of this strong dependency
on being a managed node, the profile is often referred to as a managed
profile.
