Use commands to create a profile, start the server of the profile,
display the profile ports, and open the administrative console.
Before you begin
This task assumes a basic familiarity with the manageprofiles command,
other application server commands, and system commands.
Before you can
create and use a profile, you must install the product.
About this task
Perform the following steps to create a profile, start the server
of the profile, display ports for your profile, and open the administrative
console for your server.
This
example deals with the profile environment of a stand-alone application server
on the Windows platform.
Procedure
- Create the server profile from the original installation:
app_server_root/bin/manageprofiles.sh
app_server_root\bin\manageprofiles.bat
app_server_root/bin/manageprofiles
Assume that you create the profile by using
the defaults.

The following script
is an example for creating an application server profile on the Windows platform:
"C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\bin\manageprofiles" -create
-templatePath "C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profileTemplates\default"
(The
script is displayed on multiple lines for printing purposes.)
Change directories to the bin directory
of the new server profile. For example, issue the following
command:
cd "C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\AppSrv01\bin"
- Start the server.
Change directories
to the app_server_root\bin directory
of the original installation.

Issue the
startServer command.
startServer server1 -profileName AppSrv01
![[iSeries]](../../iseries.gif)
The server name is the same name as the profile, which,
in this case, is AppSrv01. Issue the
startServer command.
startServer -profileName AppSrv01
- Display the ports.
These
are the ports assigned during profile creation.
Open
the portdef.props file in the app_server_root\profiles\AppSrv01\properties
directory.

Use the dspwasinst QShell script to display
the ports for your new profile:
app_server_root/bin/dspwasinst -profileName profileName
The WC_adminhost port listed from Other Ports is the administrative
console port.
- Open the administrative console.
![[AIX HP-UX Linux Solaris Windows]](../../dist.gif)
The
port for the server1 administrative console is defined on the HTTP_TRANSPORT_ADMIN
setting. If the value of the setting is
20003, then specify
the following Web address in your browser:
http://hostname_or_IP_address:20003/ibm/console/
![[iSeries]](../../iseries.gif)
For example, if the value of the WC_adminhost port is 9061
for your server, then specify the following Web address in your browser:
http://
host
name or IP address:9061/ibm/console
Results
You created an application server profile, started an application
server, and accessed the administrative console through commands.
What to do next
Deploy an application.
