Creating a deployment manager profile

You create a deployment manager profile (for example, Dmgr01) that contains the deployment manager process. The deployment manager process is the main administration process that manages all other IBM® WebSphere® Application Server processes running in the cell, including node agents and application server processes.

Procedure

Create a deployment manager profile by using the Profile Management Tool or the manageprofiles command line tool.
The Profile Management Tool, if you installed it, and the manageprofiles command line tool are located in the following directories of a WebSphere Application Server installation.
Operating system Directory
AIX® Linux®
The Profile Management Tool
WAS_HOME/bin/ProfileManagement/pmt.sh
The manageprofiles command line tool
WAS_HOME/bin/manageprofiles.sh

where WAS_HOME is the location of the application server installation, such as /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer.
Windows
The Profile Management Tool
WAS_HOME\bin\ProfileManagement\pmt.bat
The manageprofiles command line tool
WAS_HOME\bin\manageprofiles.bat

where WAS_HOME is the location of the application server installation, such as C:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer.

See the IBM WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment documentation for more information:

Method Procedure
Using the Profile Management Tool
  • On the Administrative Security panel, select Enable administrative security and provide user credentials. Credentials for the built-in WebSphere Application Server file registry can be used.
  • On the Environment Selection panel, select Deployment Manager.
  • For most cases, choose the Typical profile creation option. If you want to modify default attributes of the deployment manager profile (such as the port numbers or whether to run the deployment manager process as a Microsoft Windows service), select the Advanced profile creation option.
Using the manageprofiles command line tool

Example

The following example illustrates how you use the manageprofiles command to create a deployment manager profile in a UNIX environment:
manageprofiles.sh -create -templatePath profileTemplates/dmgr/ -isDefault 
		-profileName dmgr -adminUserName wasadmin -adminPassword Pa$$w0rd

What to do next

Create a custom profile.
