Augmenting profiles
After you install WebSphere XD, you can augment an existing profile to make it compatible with WebSphere Extended Deployment Operations Optimization V6.1. To use product features, at least one profile augmented for WebSphere XD must exist in your environment. Use the graphical user interface (GUI), which is provided by the Profile Management tool plugin, to complete this task.
Before you begin
Ensure that your environment meets all of the hardware and software requirements. Install WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment V6.1, and apply the latest WebSphere Application Server fix pack to update your Network Deployment product level. Next, install WebSphere Extended Deployment Operations Optimization V6.1. At least one profile, which can already be augmented, must exist on your system to successfully complete this task.
About this task

Procedure
- Launch the Profile Management tool. Click Profile Management tool from either the First Steps Console or the Start menu.
- Click Augment to launch the profile augmentation wizard and augment a new profile. This panel appears only if there is an existing profile and an existing profile template present.
- Review the Welcome panel, and click Next.
- Select the existing profile from the list to augment, and click Next.
