Augmenting deployment manager profiles using the Profile Management Tool

You can use the Profile Management Tool to augment an existing WebSphere® Application Server deployment manager profile.

About this task

Restriction: You cannot augment a deployment manager profile where the default WebSphere VMM user registry has been changed, for example, to using LDAP.

Restrictions:

• To run the Profile Management Tool on Windows 7, Windows Vista, or Windows Server 2008, you must elevate your Microsoft Windows user account privileges. Whether you are an administrative user or a non-administrative user, right-click the pmt.bat file and select Run as administrator. Alternatively, use the runas command at the command line. For example, the following command can be run from the installation_root\bin\ProfileManagement directory:

  runas /user:MyAdminName /env pmt.bat

  Non-administrative users are prompted for the administrator password.
• If you install multiple instances of IBM® Business Process Manager as the root user and give a nonadministrative user access to only a subset of those instances, the Profile Management Tool does not function correctly for the nonadministrative user. In addition, a com.ibm.wsspi.profile.WSProfileException or Access is denied message occurs in the installation_root\bin\ProfileManagement\pmt.bat file. By default, nonadministrative users do not have access to the Program Files directory, which is the default installation location for the product. To resolve this issue, nonadministrative users must either install the product by themselves or be given permission to access the other product instances.

1. Use one of the following methods to start the Profile Management Tool.
   • Start the tool from the Quick Start console.
   • Run the command installation_root\bin\ProfileManagement\pmt.bat
2. Shut down any servers associated with a profile you plan to augment.
3. On the Welcome page, click Launch Profile Management Tool or select the Profile Management Tool tab.
4. On the Profiles tab, select the profile that you want to augment and click Augment. If you augment a WebSphere Application Server profile, it must be from the version of WebSphere Application Server on which IBM Business Process Manager is installed. The Augment button cannot be selected unless a profile can be augmented. The Augment Selection page opens in a separate window.
5. On the Augment Selection page, select the IBM BPM deployment manager augmentation template. Then click Next.
6. Required: On the Administrative Security page, enter values for the User name, Password, and Confirm password. The user entered must exist and must have administrative privileges. The Next button is enabled only after you enter the values.
7. On the Profile Augmentation Summary page, review the information. Click Augment to augment the profile or Back to change the characteristics of the profile.
8. On the Profile Augmentation Complete page, review the information. To proceed to the Quick Start console, make sure that Launch Quick Start console is selected and click Finish.
