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 Automation Workflow.

Before you begin

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

About this task

Draft comment:
If RTC 196273 is implemented in time for 8560, the following statement....

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

....will be changed to say the following.....

"If the custom profile is not yet federated, you cannot federate it as part of IBM BPM augmentation. You will need to federate the custom profile after augmentation, as described in the topic 'Federating nodes to the deployment manager' ".

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

Procedure

  1. 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.sh.
  2. Shut down any servers associated with a profile you plan to augment.
  3. On the Welcome page, click Launch Profile Management Tool or select the Profile Management Tool tab.
  4. 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 Automation Workflow is installed. The Augment button cannot be selected unless a profile can be augmented.
    The Augment Selection page opens in a separate window.
  5. On the Augment Selection page, select the Business Automation Workflow managed node augmentation template. Then click Next.
  6. On the Profile Augmentation Summary page, review the information. Click Augment to augment the profile or Back to change the characteristics of the profile.
  7. 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.
