Manage profiles on non-z/OS operating systems
We can create and delete profiles, which are sets of files that define the runtime environment. At least one profile must exist to run the product.
This task assumes a basic familiarity with manageprofiles.sh, the Profile Management Tool, system commands, and profile concepts. Typically, you create a profile after you install the product. Depending on which WAS product we have, you might create additional profiles.
We can create profiles using the Profile Management Tool or manageprofiles.sh.
For the WAS ND, you can create any combination of profiles.
(Solaris) (AIX) Non-root users can create their own profiles so that they can manage their own application servers.
Typically, non-root users manage application servers for development purposes.
We can delete profiles through the manageprofiles command or by other means if necessary. You might delete a profile if the configuration specified in the profile is not what you want.
