Configuring IBM Integration Administration for WebSphere Application Server

Learn about how to use the manageprofiles command to create or augment profiles in WebSphere® Application Server, and about how to enable the IBM® Integration web user interface, so that you can use IBM Integration Administration for WebSphere Application Server.

1. Augment or create WebSphere Application Server profiles.

   The IBM Integration Administration feature is supported for both dmgr and default profiles. You can use the manageprofiles command to create or augment profiles of these types. The profile templates to use are in the install_root/profileTemplates or install_root\profileTemplates directory, where install_root is the WebSphere Application Server root installation directory.

   • Use the default.broker template to create or augment a default profile.
     For example, run the following command (after backing up your current configuration) from install_root\bin on Windows to augment a default profile called AppSrv01:

     manageprofiles -augment -profileName AppSrv01 
       -templatePath "C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profileTemplates\default.broker"

   • Use the dmgr.broker template to create or augment a dmgr profile.
     For example, run the following command from install_root\bin on Windows to create a dmgr profile called DMgr01:

     manageprofiles -create -profileName DMgr01 
       -templatePath "C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profileTemplates\dmgr.broker"

   Before uninstalling the IBM Integration Administration feature, you must unaugment or delete the profiles that you augmented or created for the feature.

   For example, run the following command on Windows to unaugment a profile called AppSrv01:

   manageprofiles -unaugment -profileName AppSrv01 

   If more than one template has been applied to the profile, you might need to take additional steps. See the documentation on unaugmenting and deleting profiles by using the command line in the WebSphere Application Server documentation.
2. For each integration node that you want to view in the WebSphere Application Server administration console, you must configure and enable the IBM Integration web user interface.

   See Configuring the IBM Integration Bus web user interface.

   The web user interface must be enabled, because the IBM Integration Representational State Transfer (REST) API is used to query integration node resources.

3. Create the web user accounts that are required for access to the web user interface.
   See Managing web user accounts.
4. Restart your WebSphere Application Server server.
