Create the WebSphere Portal profile template on IBM i 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 IBM i on the primary node
- Clustered environment: Perform post-installation tasks on IBM i
- IBM i clustered server: Set up a remote database
- Remove search collections on IBM i
Create the WebSphere Portal profile template
- Run the ConfigEngine.sh enable-profiles -DWasPassword=foo task, from the WP_PROFILE/ConfigEngine of the profile that we use as the primary node of the cluster. ...to create configuration archive file... the PORTAL_HOME/offer/portal/profileTemplates/default.portal/configArchives/Portal.car directory, where offer is either content or server.
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.
- Run the ConfigEngine.sh package-profiles -DWasPassword=foo task to compress the profileTemplates directory and create a profileTemplates.zip file in the PORTAL_HOME/profileTemplates directory.
