Troubleshooting
Problem
On distributed systems if the profileRegistry.xml file was moved from the standard location (AppServer_home\properties), the ITCAM Data Collector for WebSphere configuration utility (config.bat) fails to discover the AppServer_home\profiles directory. The following error message is displayed: CFG5026E Critical error in config.py CFG1073E Can not discover profiles. Make sure there is a local application server profile created
Cause
The config.bat configuration utility reads the AppServer_home\properties\profileRegistry.xml file to get a list of defined application server profiles for the WebSphere installation. If the profilesRegistry.xml file was moved to another location, then the config.bat configuration utility can't find the profiles directory.
Resolving The Problem
Resolve this problem by copying the profileRegistry.xml file into the AppServer_home\properties folder. On Unix and Linux systems make sure that the file has read permission set..
