Create the WebSphere Portal profile template on Linux in a clustered environment

After installing the primary node and configuring remote database, you should create the configuration archive (CAR) file that you will use to create additional WebSphere Portal profiles.


Prerequisites


Install WebSphere Portal
Linux clustered server: Configure WebSphere Portal to use a database

Creating the WebSphere Portal profile template:

  1. If you installed WebSphere Portal as a non-root user, run the chmod -R u+rwx $PORTAL_HOME/ task to modify permissions for the Portal Server directory.

  2. Run the ./ConfigEngine.sh enable-profiles -DWasPassword=foo task, from the WP_PROFILE/ConfigEngine of the profile that you will use as the primary node of the cluster. This command creates a configuration archive (CAR) file used to create additional WebSphere Portal profiles. The Portal.car file is saved to the $PORTAL_HOME/profileTemplates/default.portal/configArchives directory.

      Type 4 database drivers only: If you configured WebSphere Portal for a remote database and placed database drivers inside of the WP_PROFILE/PortalServer directory, they will be included in the configuration archive file that is created when running the enable-profiles script.

  3. Run the ./ConfigEngine.sh package-profiles -DWasPassword=foo task to zip the profileTemplates directory and create a profileTemplates.zip file in the $PORTAL_HOME/profileTemplates directory.

  4. Run the chmod -R u+rx $PORTAL_HOME/ task to restore the non-root permissions to the Portal Server directory.
