The manageprofiles command-line tool can be used to create or augment WebSphere Process Server runtime environments. The command can be used to manage a profile, which is the set of files that define the runtime environment for a deployment manager, a custom profile, or a stand-alone profile. The command can be used to create, delete, augment, unaugment, list or validate profiles.
The manageprofiles command is another method of creating profiles in addition to the Profile Wizard (which can be used in graphical mode or with silent response files). Using the Profile Wizard or the response files (which in turn activate the Profile Wizard, but "silently") is a sufficient method of creating a profile in most situations. However, advanced users might find it desirable, in some circumstances, to use the manageprofiles command. You must use the manageprofiles command to unaugment and then delete a profile, for instance, because the Profile Wizard does not provide these functions. Remember, before you delete a profile you must unaugment it.
When the Profile Wizard (including silent installation) is used to initially create or augment a profile, a command-line version of the profile creation or augmentation is written to a log file. You can extract this command line from the log file, carefully modify specific portions of it, and use it to create or augment other profiles.
Important: IBM strongly recommends that for WebSphere Process Server you initially use the Profile Wizard or the silent installation process to create a new profile or augment an existing WebSphere Application Server profile, and only use the manageprofiles command to "copy" such a profile or augmentation or create one that is very similar. Using the manageprofiles command to create and augment profiles contains step-by-step instructions for this procedure.
The command file is located in the install_root/bin directory. The command file is a script named manageprofiles.sh for Linux and UNIX platforms or manageprofiles.bat for Windows platforms.
On
Linux and UNIX platforms: Use the following syntax and parameters with
the manageprofiles command to get information about your
profiles, to delete profiles, or to unaugment profiles. To create or augment
a profile with manageprofiles, follow the instructions
in Using the manageprofiles command to create and augment profiles.
# ./manageprofiles.sh -listProfiles
# ./manageprofiles.sh -unaugment -profileName profile_name
# ./manageprofiles.sh -delete -profileName profile_name | -profilePath profile_path
# ./manageprofiles.sh -getName -profilePath profile_path
# ./manageprofiles.sh -getPath -profileName profile_name
# ./manageprofiles.sh -validateRegistry
# ./manageprofiles.sh -validateAndUpdateRegistry [-backup file_name]
# ./manageprofiles -help # ./manageprofiles -option_name -help
manageprofiles -listProfiles
manageprofiles -unaugment -profileName profile_name
manageprofiles -delete -profileName profile_name | -profilePath profile_path
manageprofiles -getName -profilePath fully_qualified_profile_path
manageprofiles -getPath -profileName profile_name
manageprofiles -validateRegistry
manageprofiles -validateAndUpdateRegistry [-backup file_name]
manageprofiles -help manageprofiles -option_name -help
Refer to manageprofiles parameters for a list and descriptions of parameters to use with the manageprofiles command for WebSphere Process Server.
