Manage profiles using commands


Use commands to create a profile, start the server of the profile, display ports used by the server, and open the admin console.

This task assumes a basic familiarity with the command, other appserver commands, and system commands.

Before we can create and use a profile, install WAS ND.

Perform the following steps to create a profile, start the server of the profile, display ports used by the server, and open the admin console for the server.

This example deals with the profile environment of a standalone application server.

 

  1. Create the server profile from the original installation:

    • (Linux) [HP-UX] [Solaris]

      [AIX] APP_ROOT/bin/manageprofiles.sh

    • (Windows) APP_ROOT\bin\manageprofiles.bat

    Assume created the profile by using defaults.

    The following script is an example for creating an appserver profile:

    • (Windows) APP_ROOT\bin\manageprofiles.bat -create -templatePath APP_ROOT\profileTemplates\default

    • (Linux) [HP-UX] [Solaris]

      [AIX] APP_ROOT/bin/manageprofiles.sh -create -templatePath APP_ROOT/profileTemplates/default

  2. Change directories to the $PROFILE_ROOT/bin directory of the new server profile.

  3. Start the server.

    Issue the startServer command.

    (Windows) 

    startServer.bat server1 -profileName profile_name

    [Linux] [HP-UX] [Solaris]

    [AIX] 

    startServer.sh server1 -profileName profile_name

  4. Display the ports.

    These are the ports assigned during profile creation.

    (Windows) Open the portdef.props file in the $PROFILE_ROOT\properties directory.

    [Linux] [HP-UX] [Solaris]

    [AIX] Open the portdef.props file in the $PROFILE_ROOT/properties directory.

  5. Open the admin console.

    The server1 admin console is defined on the WC_adminhost setting for the non-secure admin console port or the WC_adminhost_secure setting for the secure admin console port. If the value of the WC_adminhost port for the server is 20003, for example, specify the following Web address in the browser: 

    http://hostname_or_IP_address:20003/ibm/console/

    If the value of the WC_adminhost_secure port for the server is 9061, for example, specify the following Web address in the browser: 

    https:
//hostname_or_IP_address:9061/ibm/console/

 

Results

You created an appserver profile, started an appserver, and accessed the admin console using the browser.
