Using the Profile Management Tool

Use the Profile Management Tool GUI to create a WSRR profile. You can create a stand-alone server profile, a deployment manager profile, or a custom profile (which is used to create a managed node for subsequent federation with a deployment manager).

Before you begin

View the list of prerequisites for creating or augmenting profiles at Prerequisites for creating or augmenting profiles.
When you use the Profile Management Tool with the Motif graphical user interface on the Solaris operating system, the default size of the Profile Management Tool might be too small to view all the messages and buttons. To fix the problem, add the following lines to the install_root/.Xdefaults file:
```
Eclipse*spacing:0
Eclipse*fontList:-misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-10-100-75-75-c-60-iso8859-1
```
After adding the lines, run the following command before starting the Profile Management Tool:
```
xrdb -load user_home/.Xdefaults
```

Procedure

Start the WSRR Profile Management Tool.
Use one of the following commands:
- install_root/bin/ProfileManagement/pmt.sh
- install_root\bin\ProfileManagement\pmt.bat
See the topic Starting the Profile Management Tool for other methods of starting this tool.

The Welcome page is displayed.
In the Profiles tab, click Create.
The Profiles tab can contain a list of profiles that have been created on your machine. For this procedure, it is assumed you are creating a new profile, not augmenting an existing one. If you want to augment an existing profile, see the first note in this topic. Note that it could take same time for the list of profiles to be displayed.

The Environment Selection page opens in a separate window.
In the Environment Selection page, expand WSRR and select the type of profile you want to create, for example, "Stand-alone Service Registry". Then click Next.
The Profile Creation Options page is displayed.
In the Profile Creation Options page, choose to perform a Typical, an Advanced profile creation, and click Next.
The Typical option creates a profile with default configuration settings.

The Advanced option lets you specify your own configuration values for a profile.
See one of the following topics to complete creation of your profile.

Results

You are ready to configure your profile, which defines a new operating environment of the type you specified (stand-alone server, deployment manager, or custom).
