Creating Profiles | WebSphere Tutorial pdf

Creating Profiles:

Let’s say you installed your Application server in /home/jo/was6.0. Here in the bin directory you can find a directory with name Profile creator. Go into that directory . You can see a file name profilecreator. Execute that file, you will get a graphical window as shown below.

From here we can choose what type of profile we want to create. Depending on our chosen option the servers will be created. As you create profiles, you will have the option of specifying a default profile. This is the profile that commands are executed against if you execute them from the <was_home>/bin directory and you do not specify the -profileName argument. The default profile is the first profile that you create, unless you subsequently specify another profile as the default.
At the end of the Profile creation wizard you have the opportunity to start the First Steps interface.
This interface helps you start the deploymen t manager or application server and has other useful links such as opening the administrative console, migration help, starting the Profile creation wizard, and installation verification. Each profile you create has its own First Steps program located here:
<was_install> \profiles\<profile_name> \firststeps\firststeps.sh
If you choose not to start the First Steps program at the completion of the wizard, you can start it later from this location.
Let me first take you through the process of creating a depl oyment manager profile and then we see how to create a application server profile and custom profile.
