Creating profiles for multiple products

You can create profiles for multiple products to further enhance your environment and utilize all of the product features that are available.

Before you begin

Ensure that your environment meets all of the hardware and software requirements.
  • Install the latest version of WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment and the latest WebSphere Application Server fix pack.
  • Install all three WebSphere Extended Deployment products: Operations Optimization, Compute Grid, and Data Grid. Apply the latest WebSphere Extended Deployment fix pack.
For more information, see Using the Update Installer to install maintenance packages .
[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
