Set up the configuration file system and creating a profile
After you create and process a customization definition for the required profile, you can create the WebSphere Application Server configuration file system, define your database configuration, and create the default profile in the configuration file system.
To define your database configuration, use the database design tool to define the configuration and to save the settings to a database design file. You can run the database design tool in a UNIX System Services shell either before or after you create the default profile in the configuration file system.
The configuration file system contains various application server root directories and associated symbolic links. Each node has its own application server root directory, which is referred to as the WAS_HOME directory; for example, /WebSphere/V8R0/AppServer for a stand-alone server or empty node, or /WebSphere/V8R0/DeploymentManager for a dmgr node.
- Set up the configuration file system
To set up the configuration file system, you must perform some manual configuration updates on the base operating system or existing subsystems, and then run the customized jobs to allocate and populate the file system. Cell, node, and server settings, as well as deployed applications, are stored in this file system.- Generate a design file and database scripts for the database objects
Before you create and configure the default profile, you must define the database configuration values that will used to create the database objects for the stand-alone server or ND cell.- Create a profile in the configuration file system
After you create and populate the configuration file system, run the customized job to create the default WebSphere Application Server profile.
