Sharing a WebSphere profile between developers

The configuration of a server can be time consuming and error-prone. After you have configured the server resources, you might want to let other members of the team use the same configuration from their local environment, without duplicating the same effort.

To replicate server configurations across multiple profiles, you can use the Server Configuration Backup wizard to create a backup of a WebSphere Application Server v7.0 profile in a Configuration Archive (CAR) file. This performs the same functionality as the wsadmin command:

wsadmin AdminTask exportWasprofile 

You can also use the Server Configuration Restore wizard to restore a WebSphere Application Server v7.0 profile from a configuration archive file. This performs the same functionality as the wsadmin command:

wsadmin AdminTask importWasprofile
