Manage profiles using the graphical user interface

We can create profiles, which define runtime environments, using the Profile Management Tool. Using profiles instead of multiple product installations saves disk space and simplifies updating the product because a single set of core product files is maintained.

The Profile Management Tool is the graphical user interface for the manageprofiles command. See the description of the manageprofiles command for more information.

We must provide enough system temporary space to create a profile. For information, read about the file system requirements for profiles.

The Profile Management Tool GUI for 64-bit architectures is available on Linux for zSeries platforms, x86-based Linux and Windows platforms, Linux on Power PC platforms, and AIX Power PC platforms. However, you can use the Profile Management Tool GUI on other 64–bit architectures if you use a WAS 32–bit installation.

We can have the installation procedure create a default profile. After installing the core product files for the WAS ND, use the Profile Management Tool or the manageprofiles command to create additional profiles.
