Profile Management on 64 bit WebSphere Application Server (WAS) 7.0.x

WebSphere Application Server (WAS) 7.0.x does not provide Graphical Profile Management Tool like its sister 32 bit version does. Therefore you have to rely on manageprofiles.(bat/sh) command to create/augment/delete a profile.

Below command creates Deployment Manager Profile on the same server on which WebSphere Portal is installed.

manageprofiles -create -profileName DmgrDev01 -profilePath E:/IBM/WebSphere/DmgrDev01 -templatePath E:/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profileTemplates/management -serverType DEPLOYMENT_MANAGER -nodeName nodeo1 -cellName cello1 -hostName portal.pankaj.com -validatePorts -defaultPorts

This command has to be executed from \bin directory. The node name and cell should be different from the ones used while installing Portal Server.
