Subtopics
- Liberty profile: Directory locations and properties
In the Liberty profile, many directories have properties associated with them. These properties can be used to specify file locations when you configure the server. 
Verifying the integrity of Liberty profile installation
You can use the command utilities to verify the installation integrity of the Liberty profile.
Creating a Liberty profile server by using developer tools
You can use developer tools to create and start a Liberty profile server. If you have not yet installed the Liberty profile, the developer tools can install it for you the first time you create a server.- Creating a Liberty profile server manually
You can create a server from the command prompt. - Specifying Liberty profile bootstrap properties
Bootstrap properties initialize the runtime environment for a particular server. Generally, they are attributes that affect the configuration and initialization of the runtime core. 
Setting the default host name of a Liberty server
You can add the defaultHostName variable to the server.xml file to set the default host name by which a Liberty server is identified.- Liberty profile: File transfer
The restConnector-1.0 feature includes the FileTransfer and FileService MBeans. The FileTransfer MBean supports delete, upload, and download operations to and from a running Liberty server. The FileService MBean provides access to directory lists and file metadata, and it also provides archive operations such as create and expand. - Setting up the server-management environment for the Liberty profile using collectives
To set up the server-management environment for the Liberty profile using collectives, define the appropriate features in the server.xml file and run the corresponding collective command-line tasks to establish the administrative domain security configuration.
