Augmenting custom profiles for nodes

For a network deployment, you need a custom profile for each node that you plan to add to the IBM® Business Monitor server cluster. Rather than create a new one, you can optionally augment an existing custom profile for each node.

Complete the following steps to augment a profile for each cluster member by using the Profile Management Tool:

1. Open the Profile Management Tool by using one of the following methods:
   • From the IBM Business Monitor First Steps console, click Profile Management Tool.
   • Click Start > All Programs > IBM > Business Monitor version > Profile Management Tool.
   • Run pmt.bat, which is in the following directory: app_server_root\bin\ProfileManagement.
     Important: To run the Profile Management Tool on Windows, 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:

     runas /user:ADMINNAME /env pmt.bat

     Non-administrative users are prompted for the administrator password.
   • Change to the app_server_root/bin/ProfileManagement directory and type ./pmt.sh in a terminal window.
2. From the Welcome perspective, click Profile Management Tool, and then click Launch Selected Tool.
3. On the Profiles panel, select a profile from the list and click Augment to augment an existing profile. (You can expand a profile to see the augmentations that have already been done.) You must select an existing custom profile to augment to be the IBM Business Monitor custom profile. A custom profile will allow you the flexibility to create servers and clusters as you continue setting up your environment.
4. On the Augment Selection panel, click Monitor server custom profile from the list, and click Next.
5. On the Profile Augmentation Options panel, click Advanced profile augmentation, and click Next. If you click Typical, some of the panels are not shown.
6. If you see the Federation panel, complete the following steps to identify the deployment manager profile that you plan to use:
   Note: If the profile was not previously federated, you will not see this panel.
   1. In the Deployment manager host name or IP address field, type the fully qualified host name or IP address of the server where the deployment manager profile was created.
   2. In the Deployment manager SOAP port number field, type the port number. The default value is 8879.
   3. Optional: If administrative security is enabled on the deployment manager, specify an existing WebSphere® Application Server user for the deployment manager in the User name field. This value is required for authentication with the deployment manager.
   4. Optional: If administrative security is enabled on the deployment manager, specify the password for the user name that you provided.
   5. Click Next.
7. On the Database Configuration panel, complete the following steps:
   1. Select your database product from the list.
   2. Type or browse to the directory where the JDBC classpath files are located in the Location (directory) of JDBC driver classpath files.
   3. Click Next.
8. Click Augment to augment the profile.
9. On the Profile Augmentation Complete panel, review the information about the completed profile augmentation.
10. Optional: Access First Steps.
    • Select the Launch the IBM Business Monitor first steps check box.
    • Go to profile_root/firststeps.wbm and run the firststeps.sh command.
11. Click Finish to exit the Profile Management Tool.
