  • Using the Profile Management tool or the manageprofiles command to create profiles

About this task

This procedure uses the First steps console to launch the installation verification test (IVT) that tests and verifies your WebSphere Application Server environment. This procedure also uses the First steps console to launch the Profile Management tool to create an additional application server.

Procedure

  1. Start the First steps console by selecting the check box on the last panel of the wizard.

    The First steps console can start automatically at the end of the installation. Select the check box on the last panel of the Installation wizard.

    The First steps console is an easy way to start using the product. The console provides one-stop access to the administrative console, Samples Gallery, Profile Management tool, installation verification test, Migration wizard, and other activities.

    See the description of the firststeps command for more information.

  2. Click Installation verification on the First steps console.

    The installation verification test starts the application server process named server1 and runs several tests to verify that the server1 process can start without errors.

    See Using the installation verification tools for more information.

  3. Click Profile Management tool on the First steps console to create an application server profile.

    You can create multiple application servers on your system without installing the product again.

    See Creating an application server profile.

  4. Start the First steps console by selecting the check box on the last panel of the Profile Management tool.

    This First steps console belongs to the Application Server profile that you just created. Each profile has its own First steps console.

  5. Click Installation verification on the First steps console.

    The installation verification test starts the new application server process named server1 and runs several tests to verify that the server1 process can start without error.

Results

This procedure results in configuring and testing the application server environment.
