Use the manageprofiles command-line tool to manage WebSphere Process Server profiles. The command can be used to create, delete, augment, unaugment, list, or validate profiles.
The manageprofiles command is another method of creating or augmenting profiles in addition to the Profile wizard. When you create or augment a profile using the Profile wizard or create a profile silently, a command-line version of the profile creation or augmentation configuration is written to a log file. Advanced users can extract this command line from the log file, carefully modify specific portions of it, and use it with the manageprofiles command to create or augment other profiles. The manageprofiles command also enables functions not provided by the Profile wizard, such as unaugmenting and then deleting a profile.
Important: IBM supports creation or augmentation of a WebSphere Process Server profile with the manageprofiles command only if you first create or augment a like profile using the Profile wizard (or create a like profile silently using a response file – silent profile augmentation is not supported) and then use the manageprofiles command to "copy" such a profile creation or augmentation to create one that is very similar. Creating profiles using the manageprofiles command and Augmenting profiles using the manageprofiles command contain step-by-step instructions for these procedures. For tasks other than creating or augmenting a WebSphere Process Server profile (unaugmenting, deleting, listing, or validating profiles) use of manageprofiles from the command line (without copying a previously generated command) is supported.
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.
Use the following syntax and parameters with the manageprofiles command to get information about your profiles, to delete profiles, or to unaugment profiles.
