You can create a stand-alone server profile, a deployment manager
profile, or a custom profile using the Profile wizard graphical user interface
(GUI).
Before you begin
Before using this procedure, ensure that you have reviewed the
list of prerequisites for creating or augmenting a profile at Prerequisites for creating or augmenting profiles.
Important: You cannot have two instances of the WebSphere Process Server
Profile wizard or WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application Server
Network Deployment Profile creation wizard running concurrently on one set
of core product files. Attempts to create profiles concurrently result in
a warning. If a warning panel is displayed, determine if there is another
profile creation or augmentation action occurring.
- If there is, you must wait until it completes.
- If there is not, delete the file profileRegistry.xml_LOCK in
the directory install_root/properties if it exists.
You can then run the Profile wizard.
Important: The language of the Profile wizard
is determined by the default language on the system. If the default language
is not one of the supported languages, then English is used. You can override
the system’s default language by starting the Profile wizard
from the command line and using the java user.language setting to replace
the default language, as follows:
On Linux and UNIX platforms: install_root/java/bin/java
-Duser.language=locale -cp install_root/bin/ProfileCreator_wbi/pcat.jar
run
On Windows platforms: install_root\java\bin\java
-Duser.language=locale -cp install_root\bin\ProfileCreator_wbi\pcat.jar
run
For instance, to start the Profile wizard in the German language on a
Linux system, type the following:
install_root/java/bin/java -Duser.language=de -cp install_root/ \
bin/ProfileCreator_wbi/pcat.jar run
Why and when to perform this task
Complete the following steps to create a profile.
Steps for this task
- Start the WebSphere Process Server Profile wizard. You
can start the wizard in several ways:
- On all platforms, from the First Steps console. See Starting the First Steps console for
how to start the First Steps console.
On Windows platforms: From the Windows Start
menu, or by executing the command install_root\bin\ProfileCreator_wbi\pcatWindows.exe.
On Linux and UNIX platforms: By executing
the appropriate command in the install_root/bin/ProfileCreator_wbi directory.
The name of the command varies by platform:
On AIX platforms: ./pcatAIX.bin
On HP-UX platforms: ./pcatHPUX.bin
On Linux x86 32-bit platforms: ./pcatLinux.bin
On Linux x86 64-bit platforms: ./pcat.bin
On Linux zSeries 31-bit and 64-bit platforms: ./pcatLinux390.bin
On Linux Power platforms: ./pcatLinuxPPC.bin
On Solaris SPARC platforms: ./pcatSolaris.bin
On Solaris x86 64-bit platforms: ./pcatSolarisx86_64.bin
Important: Do not execute the similar pct command
found in install_root/bin/ProfileCreator on Linux and UNIX
platforms and install_root\bin\ProfileCreator on Windows platforms.
This command creates WebSphere Application Server profiles -- not WebSphere
Process Server profiles.
The Welcome panel is displayed.
- In the Welcome panel, select Next. One of the
following panels is displayed:
- If a WebSphere Application Server or WebSphere Application
Server Network Deployment profile exists, the Existing profile detection panel
is displayed. This procedure assumes that you want to create a new profile,
rather than augment an existing one into a WebSphere Process Server profile.
To create a new profile, select Create a new WebSphere Process Server profile and
select Next. One of the following panels is displayed, depending on
which WebSphere Application Server product is installed:
- If WebSphere Application Server is installed, you can only create a stand-alone
server profile, so the Profile name panel is displayed. Proceed to Configuring a stand-alone server profile to
configure your stand-alone server profile.
- If WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment is installed, you must
first choose which type of profile you want to create from the Profile type
selection panel. Proceed to step 3.
- If no profile exists and WebSphere Application Server is
installed, you can only create a stand-alone server profile, so the Profile
name panel is displayed. Proceed to Configuring a stand-alone server profile to
configure your stand-alone server profile.
- If no profile exists and WebSphere Application Server Network
Deployment is installed, you must first choose which type of profile you want
to create from the Profile type selection panel. Proceed to step 3.
- Select the radio button corresponding to the type
of profile you want to create. Select Next. One of the
following panels is displayed:
- If you are creating a stand-alone server or deployment manager profile,
the Profile name panel is displayed.
- If you are creating a custom profile, the Federation panel is displayed.
- Proceed to one of the following topics to configure and complete
creation of your profile.
Result
You are ready to configure your profile, which will define a new
operating environment of the type you specified (stand-alone server, deployment
manager, or managed node).
