WebSphere error seen in IBM Installation Manager when adding RequisiteWeb server component for RequisitePro

Troubleshooting


Problem

This technote identifies the resolution to the WebSphere installation error, "Error during 'install' phase," when adding the Web server component to Rational RequisitePro.

Symptom

The full error message:

Found in the Installation Manager Logs:
Error during "install" phase:
Error executing "<installed directory>:\Program Files\IBM\RationalSDLC\common\eWAS\bin\manageprofiles.bat" operations (status = 2)
See agent output log for more information: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\IBM\Installation Manager\logs\native\<date reference>.log


Found in the Native log file:

INSTCONFPARTIALSUCCESS: The profile now exists, but errors occured. For more information, consult <installed directory>:\Program Files\IBM\RationalSDLC\common\eWAS\logs\manageprofiles\profile2_create.log


Found in profile2_create.log file:

Returning error message:profile2 is already in use. Specify another name.

Cause

The WebSphere Application Server profile "Profile2" has already been created, either from a previous failed install, or from an existing install of IBM Rational RequisiteWeb (ReqWeb). The "Profile2" profile is only used for ReqWeb, and will need to be removed from WebSphere before installing ReqWeb. Removing this profile will have no impact on existing Rational Web Platform (RWP) applications such as IBM Rational ClearCase, or IBM Rational ClearQuest Web, or IBM Rational ProjectConsole.

Resolving The Problem

To resolve this issue, refer to the following page of the IBM WebSphere Application Server Information Center where there are steps to remove the profileName using the manageprofile.bat file:
