Creating profiles for multiple products
You can create profiles for multiple product components to further enhance your environment and utilize all of WebSphere XD features that are available. You can also create profiles that use WebSphere Extended Deployment features with the features of other IBM products, such as WebSphere Commerce Server and WebSphere Portal for Multiplatforms.
Before you begin
To create either type of profile, ensure that your environment meets all of the hardware and software requirements. Install the latest version of WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment V6.1, and apply the latest WebSphere Application Server fix pack to update your Network Deployment product level.
Procedure
- To create a profile that uses all of the features that are offered by WebSphere XD, first install WebSphere Extended Deployment Operations Optimization, WebSphere® Extended Deployment Compute Grid, and WebSphere Extended Deployment Data Grid. Continue this task by completing the following steps:
- Launch the Profile Management tool by clicking Profile Management tool from either the First Steps Console or the Start menu.
- Create a profile for WebSphere Extended Deployment Operations Optimization by following the steps that are outlined in the wizard. For further details, read about the profile creation process for individual components.
- Augment your newly created Operations Optimization profile by first applying the augment template for WebSphere Extended Deployment Data Grid. Next, augment the same profile by using the augment template for WebSphere Extended Deployment Compute Grid. Refer to the augmentation process for more information.
- To create a profile that combines WebSphere XD features with other IBM products, install the other IBM product in your WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment environment. Additionally, ensure that your environment contains one or more WebSphere Extended Deployment V6.1 products. Continue this task by completing the following steps:
- Start the Profile Management tool by clicking Profile Management tool from either the First Steps Console or the Start menu.
- Create a profile for WebSphere Extended Deployment Operations Optimization by following the steps that are outlined in the wizard. For further details, read about the profile creation process for individual components.
- Depending on what other product components exist in your environment, augment the Operations Optimization profile by applying the augment template for that component, either WebSphere Extended Deployment Compute Grid or WebSphere Extended Deployment Data Grid. If you install all three products, complete a second augmentation of the Operations Optimization profile by applying the augment template for the remaining template. Refer to the augmentation process for additional details.
