Augmenting profiles using the graphical user interface

After completing the installation of a feature pack, a feature pack might require you to augment a profile to make that profile compatible with a particular feature pack. You can use the Profile Management Tool to augment a profile.

Before you begin

Before you use the Profile Management Tool, install the product files.

Augmenting existing profiles might result in changes to the profile configuration. Before augmenting a profile, back up the existing configuration in case you need to restore the configuration. Use the backupConfig command to back up your current configuration.

Each profile has one log file for augmentation. The augmentation log, if it exists, is overwritten if you augment the profile more than once. Optionally save the contents of the augmentation log before you start the next augmentation. You can choose the method of saving the log, such as renaming or copying the file. The augmentation log is located at
  • [Linux] [HP-UX] [Solaris] [AIX] app_server_root/logs/manageprofiles/profile_name_augment.log
  • [Windows] app_server_root\logs\manageprofiles\profile_name_augment.log

The feature pack allows you to create and augment certain profiles in one pass through the Profile Management Tool. For those profiles, use the create option in the Profile Management Tool to create a profile enabled for the feature pack instead of creating a Network Deployment profile and then augmenting the profile for the feature pack.

About this task

When you apply a feature pack, the feature pack might require augmentation of Network Deployment profiles to use the new capabilities. Use this task to augment these profiles.

For this feature pack, you can augment the application server profile, the management profile with a server type of deployment manager, the management profile with a server type of administrative agent, the custom profile, and the cell profile of the Network Deployment product. You cannot augment the management profile with a server type of job manager or the secure proxy profile. You can also create a new application server profile, a new deployment manager profile, a new administrative agent profile, a new cell profile, or a new custom profile that is enabled for the feature pack. Use the profile creation tasks to create these profiles.

This task describes how to augment a profile by using the Profile Management Tool. You can also use the manageprofiles command to augment a profile.

Procedure

  1. Back up the existing configuration using the backupConfig command if you have not already done so.
  2. Start the Profile Management Tool.
    You can use one of the following ways to start the tool.
    • Issue the command directly from a command prompt.
      The command is in the following directory:
      • [Linux] [HP-UX] [Solaris] [AIX] app_server_root/bin/ProfileManagement
      • [Windows] app_server_root\bin\ProfileManagement
      The name of the command varies depending on the operating system:
      • [Linux] [HP-UX] [Solaris] [AIX] pmt.sh
      • [Windows] pmt.bat
    • Select the Profile Management Tool option from the First steps console.
    • [Windows] Use the Start menu to access the Profile Management Tool. For example, click Start > Programs or All Programs > IBM® WebSphere® > your_product > Profile Management Tool.
    • [Linux] Use the Linux® operating system menus used to start programs to start the Profile Management Tool. For example, click the_operating_system_menus_to_access_programs > IBM WebSphere > your_product > Profile Management Tool.
  3. Click Launch Profile Management Tool.
  4. Select the profile that you want to augment.
  5. Click Augment.
