Create a Portal application server profile on IBM i

The IBM WebSphere Portal installation registers the WebSphere Portal application server profile template with IBM WAS. We can then create new profiles based on the template. We can use manageprofiles.sh or pmt.sh.

cd WAS_HOME/bin  
manageprofiles -create \
               -templatePath /QIBM/ProdData/WebSphere/PortalServer/V8/Content/Portal/profileTemplates/default.portal
               -profileName testPortal1
               -profilePath /QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/V8/ND/profiles/testportal1

In this example, the portal profile template is installed under...

/QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/V8/ND/profiles/wp_profile/PortalServer/profileTemplates/default.portal

The new profile is testportal1 and is located under...

/QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/V8/ND/profiles/testportal1

We can also use the following parameters:

• -isDefault

  This profile is to serve as the default profile for the installation

• -isDeveloperServer

  indicates that WebSphere Portal is to be configured for development mode in this profile.

• -nodeName

  Provide a node name for the new profile; if not provided, the node name defaults to a value based on the local host name. Required if federating this profile into a managed cell because this value must be unique from other nodes in the cell.

See manageprofiles.sh for a complete list of parameters.

Because all database domains are identically configured for each profile, modify the database configuration for database domains that cannot be shared on that you do not want to share.
