ANT target: CreateProfile
CreateProfile creates a new profile to host a WCS instance.
The profile name is the same name as the WCS instance. The default path to the profile is:
- WAS_HOME/profiles/instance
- WAS_userdir/profiles/instance
If you already have an existing application server profile with an unmanaged node, then you can skip this CreateProfile ANT target. Each profile has unique properties such as cell name, node name, and profile directory. If you are planning to use the own profile, ensure that the properties in the createInstance.properties file has the correct values for the WebSphere Application Server profile related properties.
