Change the default profile

When running the installation, you can pass parameters from the command line that allow you to make the WebSphere Portal Express profile either default or non-default.

Valid values are True or False and the default value is True. To set the profile, use one of the follow options:

• Set the custom portal server installation profile to be the default using one of the command line arguments:

  • Windows:

    PortalExpress\install.bat -W detectProfileAction.isDefault="True"

  • Linux:

    PortalExpress/install.sh -W detectProfileAction.isDefault="True"

  This parameter sets the profile that the installation creates as the default IBM^® WebSphere^® Application Server profile. Look in the app_server_root/properties/profileRegistry.xml file to see a listing of all profiles currently installed.

• Set the custom installation profile to be the non-default using the command line. For example:

  • Windows:

    PortalExpress\install.bat -W detectProfileAction.isDefault="False"

  • Linux:

    PortalExpress/install.sh -W detectProfileAction.isDefault="False"

• Use the following three options together to modify the default profile name and profile path used for WebSphere Portal Express:

  -W detectProfileAction.isDefault="True"
  -W detectProfileAction.profileName="your_profile_name" 
  -W detectProfileAction.profilePath="C:\full\path\your_profile_name"
