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


Overview

After installing the primary node and configuring remote database, you should create the configuration archive (CAR) file that you will use to create additional WebSphere Portal profiles.


Prerequisites


Install WebSphere Portal on AIX on the primary node
Configure WebSphere Portal to use a database


Create the WebSphere Portal profile template

  1. If you installed WebSphere Portal as a non-root user, to modify permissions for the Portal Server directory...

      chmod -R u+rwx $PORTAL_HOME/

  2. From of the profile that you will use as the primary node of the cluster

        cd WP_PROFILE/ConfigEngine


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

    This command creates a CAR file used to create additional WebSphere Portal profiles. The Portal.car file is saved to...

      PORTAL_HOME/profileTemplates/default.portal/configArchives

    Type 4 database drivers only: If you configured WebSphere Portal for a remote database and placed database drivers inside of WP_PROFILE/PortalServer, they will be included in the configuration archive file that is created when running the enable-profiles script.

  3. Zip the profileTemplates directory and create zip file.

        cd WP_PROFILE/ConfigEngine


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

    This creates...

      PORTAL_HOME/profileTemplates/profileTemplates.zip

  4. Restore the non-root permissions to the Portal Server directory...

      chmod -R u+rx $PORTAL_HOME/
