Creating a Profile (Optional)

Complete this task to create a profile on the IBM i machine. The installation process of WebSphere 7 may have created profile(s) depending on the environment you selected using this navigation:

Cell > Application Server > Management > Deployment Manager

You can skip this step if you do not need additional profile.

Note: The <WAS_PROD_HOME> directory which is also referenced throughout this guide is typically located in this directory structure:/QIBM/ProdData/WebSphere/AppServer/V7/ND
Note: The user-specific WebSphere data is maintained in a separate directory, which is also referenced throughout this guide. For example:<WAS_USER_HOME>. The <WAS_USER_HOME> directory is typically located in this directory structure:/QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/V7/ND/profiles/<profileName>. For example:/QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/V7/ND/profiles/AppSrv01

To create a profile:

  1. On the IBM i command line, enter this Start Qshell command:

    STRQSH

  2. On the Qshell command line, enter this command to change to the directory that contains the script:

    cd <WAS_PROD_Home>/bin

  3. Enter this command to run the manageprofiles script:

    ./manageprofiles -create -profileName <profile_name> -templatePath <template_path>

    where:

    <profile_name> is the name of the profile that is created.

    <template_path> is the path to the profile template from which to create the profile.

    The following is an example of a command for creating an application server profile that does not have the sample applications installed:

    /.manageprofiles -create -profileName AppSrv01 -templatePath /QIBM/ProdData/WebSphere/AppServer/V7/ND/profileTemplates/default

    For more information on the manageprofiles script, enter the following command or see IBM Infocenter for IBM i:

    ./manageprofiles -create -help

  4. After you create a profile, check for the INSTCONFSUCCESS message indicating that the profile creation was successful. Verify the AboutThisProfile.txt file to obtain the list of port numbers.
