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

After installing the primary node and configuring the remote database, we can create the configuration archive (CAR) file used to create additional portal profiles.

Prerequisites

Install WebSphere Portal on AIX on the primary node

Clustered environment: Post-installation tasks

AIX cluster: Configure Portal to use a database

Remove search collections on AIX

Create the WebSphere Portal profile template

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

2. On the primary node of the cluster, run...
   ./ConfigEngine.sh enable-profiles -DWasPassword=foo

   ...to create configuration archive file...

   PORTAL_HOME/profileTemplates/default.portal/configArchives/Portal.car

   If we configured a remote database with Type 4 drivers under...

   WP_PROFILE/PortalServer

   ...they are included in the CAR file created when running enable-profiles.

3. Create...
   PORTAL_HOME/profileTemplates/profileTemplates.zip

   ...by running

   ./ConfigEngine.sh package-profiles -DWasPassword=foo

4. Restore the non-root permissions...

   chmod -R u+rx PORTAL_HOME/
