Using the graphical user interface to augment profiles

After you install the product, you can augment an existing profile to make it compatible with WebSphere Extended Deployment Operations Optimization Version 6.1. To use product features, at least one profile augmented for the product must exist in your environment. Use the graphical user interface (GUI), which is provided by the Profile Management tool plugin, to complete this task.

Before you begin

At least one profile, which can be augmented, must exist on your system. Ensure that your environment meets all of the hardware and software requirements.
  • Install WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment Version 6.1 and the latest WebSphere Application Server fix pack.
  • Install WebSphere Extended Deployment Operations Optimization Version 6.1 and the latest WebSphere Extended Deployment fix pack.
[Version 6.1.0.5 and later] Avoid trouble: If your environment contains WebSphere® Application Server Network Deployment Version 7.0, you must install WebSphere Extended Deployment Version 6.1.0.5 before augmenting profiles to use with WebSphere Extended Deployment. Do not augment profiles to use with WebSphere Extended Deployment during the installation of Version 6.1.gotcha

About this task

The Profile Management tool plugin for WebSphere Extended Deployment Operations Optimization enables the graphical user interface (GUI) to assist you in augmenting profiles to fully utilize product features.

Procedure

  1. Launch Start the Profile Management tool plugin.
    • Select Profile Management Tool from the First steps console.
    • Use the Start menu to access the Profile Management Tool.
    • Issue the following command from the install_root/bin/ProfileManagement directory:
      • [For Linux operating system] [For Unix operating system] pmt.sh
      • [For Windows operating system] pmt.bat
    The Action Selection page is then displayed only if at least one profile and the augment templates exist. Click Augment.
  2. Review the Welcome page, and click Next.
  3. Select the existing profile that you want to augment, and click Next.
  4. Select the augment to apply to the profile, and click Next. The list of available augments to apply depends on which WebSphere Extended Deployment products exist in your environment. For example, if you install Operations Optimization, Compute Grid, and Data Grid, the augment for each product is listed. As a result, you can select any of the three augments to apply. The Profile Verification page is displayed. This page verifies if the profile can be augmented by the selected augment.
  5. Review the Profile Augmentation Summary page, and click Augment.
  6. Review the Profile Augmentation Complete page, and click Finish to exit the wizard. Click Launch the First steps console for WebSphere Extended Deployment to access additional product information and features, such as an installation verification test. You can also start and stop application servers in the First steps console.

Results

You successfully augmented the profile for the product.

What to do next

You can augment additional profiles. To restart the Profile Management tool, run the ./pmt.sh|bat command from the install_root/bin/ProfileManagement directory, or select Profile Management Tool in the First steps console.

You can also continue establishing your product environment. Start the deployment manager and federate one or more nodes into the cell from the administrative console or by running the addNode command.
