Augmenting managed-node profiles using the Profile Management Tool

If you have existing WebSphere® Application Server custom profiles, you can augment an existing profile using the Profile Management Tool to add support for IBM® Business Process Manager.

Before you begin

Remember to shut down any servers associated with a profile you plan to augment.

About this task

If you want to augment a custom profile using the Profile Management Tool, it must not yet be federated.

Restrictions:

To run the Profile Management Tool on Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows Server 2008, you must elevate your Microsoft Windows user account privileges. Whether you are an administrative user or a non-administrative user, right-click the pmt.bat file and select Run as administrator. Alternatively, use the runas command at the command line. For example, the following command can be run from the installation_root\bin\ProfileManagement directory:
```
runas /user:MyAdminName /env pmt.bat
```
Non-administrative users are prompted for the administrator password.
If you install multiple instances of IBM Business Process Manager as the root user and give a nonadministrative user access to only a subset of those instances, the Profile Management Tool does not function correctly for the nonadministrative user. In addition, a com.ibm.wsspi.profile.WSProfileException or Access is denied message occurs in the installation_root\bin\ProfileManagement\pmt.bat file. By default, nonadministrative users do not have access to the Program Files directory, which is the default installation location for the product. To resolve this issue, nonadministrative users must either install the product by themselves or be given permission to access the other product instances.

Procedure

Use one of the following methods to start the Profile Management Tool.
- Start the tool from the Quick Start console.
- Run the command installation_root\bin\ProfileManagement\pmt.bat
Shut down any servers associated with a profile you plan to augment.
On the Welcome page, click Launch Profile Management Tool or select the Profile Management Tool tab.
On the Profiles tab, select the profile that you want to augment and click Augment. If you augment a WebSphere Application Server profile, it must be from the version of WebSphere Application Server on which IBM Business Process Manager is installed. The Augment button cannot be selected unless a profile can be augmented. The Augment Selection page opens in a separate window.
On the Augment Selection page, select the IBM BPM managed node augmentation template. Then click Next.
On the Profile Augmentation Summary page, review the information. Click Augment to augment the profile or Back to change the characteristics of the profile.
On the Profile Augmentation Complete page, review the information. To proceed to the Quick Start console, make sure that Launch Quick Start console is selected and click Finish.

What to do next

After you have finished adding managed-node profiles, configure the deployment environment.
