Update the configuration archive on IBM i
After customizing the portal environment, or installing an iFix that requires a configuration change, run replace-profiles. The readme file for the iFix must explicitly mention that configuration changes are introduced with the iFix. The replace-profiles task does not affect the existing profiles. It is used when creating new profiles. Manually apply changes to existing profiles.If the business practice requires version control of all systems and files, create a back up copy of the CAR before running replace-profiles.
From the WP_PROFILE/ConfigEngine of the configuration profile that was used to create the CAR, run...
ConfigEngine.sh replace-profiles -DWasPassword=foo
The Portal.car file is updated on the PORTAL_HOME/profileTemplates/default.portal/configArchives/Portal.car directory.
Install WebSphere Portal fix packs require that the WebSphere Portal profile templates are regenerated to upgrade to the new fix pack level. Run enable-profiles after the upgrade completes to regenerate the profile templates. Refer to the fix pack readme file for information about how to upgrade the profile templates when applying a fix pack.
