Using the "Manage Profiles Interactive" tool to create new profiles in WebSphere Application Server

Troubleshooting


Problem

The Profile Management Tool (PMT) GUI might not be available on certain operating systems where the required GTK+ libraries are not installed.  As a result, you must use the manageprofiles command-line tool shipped with WebSphere Application Server to create new profiles or augment existing ones.
 

Symptom

Creating new profiles with the manageprofiles tool is confusing, time consuming, and error prone.
