You can create profiles, which define runtime environments, using the Profile Management tool. Using profiles instead of multiple product installations saves disk space and simplifies updating the product because a single set of core product files is maintained.
Before you use the Profile Management tool, install the core product files.
The Profile Management tool is the graphical user interface to the manageprofiles command. See the description of the manageprofiles command for more information.
You must provide enough system temporary space to create a profile. For information, read about the file system requirements for profiles.
The installation procedure creates one profile named default for an application server named server1. You can use the Profile Management tool to create more application server processes. For example, a second profile can allow two different teams in a department to test independently of one another using the same machine.
See the description of the manageprofiles command to learn more about the command-line alternative method of creating a profile and to see examples of using the command.
Read about planning for installation for examples of configurations that you can create by creating profiles.
