[ZT] WebSphere Application Server Overview (profile) Introduction, Part 1: How to manage Overview

 

Introduction: In the first part of this series, we will introduce you to the topology of Websphere Application Server System Management, the basic types of the overview, and how to use the overview to create a system, this gives you a clearer and more comprehensive understanding of the basic concepts of the Summary. The second part of the series explains in detail how to create an overview based on different summary types in a distributed system and how to combine custom nodes with a specific unit, how to create an application server on an existing node and how to associate an application server with a specific unit gives you a clearer understanding of how to create an overview. This article is a summary Series Article The third part is taken from section 3rd of IBM Redbook WebSphere Application Server v6.1: system management and configuration, which describes how to use the manageprofiles command to manage the overview.

You have seen how to create a summary using the profile management tool. The core of this wizard isManageprofiLesCommand. This command provides you with a method to perform common maintenance activities on the summary. For example, you can call this command to create, list, and delete a summary, verify the summary registration center, and complete other functions.

Use the manageprofiles command

ManageprofiLesThe command can be<Was_home>/Bin directory.

Syntax

ManageprofiLesCommand to use the following syntax:

~ For Windows, useManageprofiles. Bat-Mode-Parameters

~ For UNIX, use manageprofiles. Sh-Mode-Parameters

You can use the following modes in table 1.

Table 1 manageprofiles Mode

Mode	Purpose
-Create:	Create a new summary.
-Augment	Use a given summary template to expand a specific summary.
-Delete	Delete a summary.
-Unaugment:	Cancel the expansion of the Summary.
-Deleteall	Delete all registered profiles.
-Listprofile	List the summary in the summary registration center.
-Getname	Returns the name of the summary in the specified path.
-Getpath	Returns the path of the specified summary name.
-Validateregistry	Verify the summary registration center and return a list of invalid summary.
-Validateandupdateregistry	Verify the summary registration center to list the summary of the cleared invalid summary.
-Getdefaultname	Returns the name of the default summary.
-Setdefaultname	Set the default summary.
-Backupprofile	Back up the specified summary to a zip file.
-Restoreprofile	Restore the specified summary from the ZIP file.
-Response	Manage the summary in a response file.
-Help	Show Help.

The following two examples showManageprofiles-<mode>-helpAndManageprofiles-listprofilesResult of the Mode:

InputManageprofiles-<mode>-helpTo display detailed help for each mode. See example 1 to viewManageprofiles-create-helpCommand example.

Example 1 get the help information of the manageprofiles command

C: \ Program Files \ IBM \ WebSphere \ appserver \ bin> manageprofiles-create-help

The following command line arguments are required for this mode. command-line arguments are case sensitive.

-Create: Creates a new profile. Specify-help-create-templatepath <path> to get template-specific help information.

-Templatepath: The fully qualified path name of the profile template that is located on the file system. The following example selects a template:

-Templatepath <app_server_home>/profiletemplates/<template_name>

-Profilename: the name of the profile.

Profilepath: the intended location of the profile in the file system. The following command line arguments are optional, and have no default values. command-line arguments are case sensitive.

-Isdefault: Make this profile the default target of commands that do not use their profile parameter.

InputManageprofiles-listprofilesTo view the summary list of the Registration Center. The following is an example of the output result of-listprofiles:

Example 2 view the summary list of the Registration Center

C: \ Program Files \ IBM \ WebSphere \ appserver \ bin> manageprofiles-listprofiles [dmgr01, 127rv01, custom01, custom02, dmgr02]

Create a summary

You can useManageprofilesCommand instead of the profile management tool to create a summary.

ProfileTemplate:The summary is created based on the template provided with the product. These templates are located in<Was_home>/Profiletemplates. Each template consists of a group of files that provide initial profile settings and a list of operations that will be taken after the profile is created. Currently, no methods have been provided for you to modify these templates and create new templates. When you useManageprofiLesWhen creating a summary, you must specify one of the following templates:

• Default (for ApplicationsProgramServer overview)
• Dmgr (for Deployment Manager overview)
• Managed (for custom summary)
• Cell (for unit summary)

For example, Example 3 shows the command to create an application server named saserver1 under Node sanodel in the sacell1 unit of host kcgg1d7.itso.ibm.com.

Example 3 use the manageprofiles command to create a summary

CD $ was_home \ bin

{Asuming was_home was set to some value, for example to "C: \ Program Files \ IBM \ WebSphere \ appserver "}

Manageprofiles-create-profilename saserver1-profilepath c: \ mywas61profiles \ Alibaba \ saserver1-templatepath $ was_home \ profiletemplates \ default-nodename sanode1-cellname sacell1-hostname Authentication

Create a summary in silent mode

You can use the response file to create a summary in silent mode. The command used is:

<Profile_management_tool>-Options<Response_file>-Silent

In this example,<Profile_management_tool>Is the command required to start the profile management tool. The command used to start the Wizard is related to the platform.<Was_home>/Bin/profilemanagement. Select the command for your platform in table 2.

Table 2 platform-specific creation wizard

Platform(32Bit)	Profile ManagementTool commands
Linux/HP-UX/Solaris/AIX	PMT. Sh
Windows	PMT. bat

The sample response file is stored in<Was_home>/Bin/profilecreator directory.

Delete Summary

To delete a summary, you must perform the following operations:

1. If you want to remove a custom summary or Application Server summary that has been associated with a unit:

• Stop the application server on the node.
• Use the console orRemovenodeCommand to remove the node from the Unit. Removing a node does not delete it, but restores it to the configuration before the Union. This configuration was previously saved as part of the Union process.
• UseManageprofiLes-DeleteDelete the summary.
• UseManageprofiLes-ValidateandupdateregistryCommand to clear the summary registration center.
• Delete<Profile_home>Directory.

2. If you want to remove an application server that is not associated with a unit, the following is an overview:

• Stop the application server.
• UseManageprofiLes-DeleteDelete the summary.
• UseManageprofiLes-ValidateandupdateregistryCommand to clear the summary registration center.
• Delete<Profile_home>Directory.

3. If you want to remove a Deployment Manager summary:

• Use the console orRemovenodeCommand to remove all nodes associated with the unit. Removing a node does not delete it, but restores it to the configuration before the Union. This configuration was previously saved as part of the Union process.
• Stop the Deployment Manager.
• UseManageprofiLes-DeleteDelete the summary.
• UseManageprofiLes-ValidateandupdateregistryCommand to clear the summary registration center.
• Delete<Profile_home>Directory.

Delete A summary using manageprofiles

To delete a summary, useManageprofiLes-DelEteCommand. The format is:

Manageprofiles-delete-profilename <profile>

After the command is completed, the summary will be removed from the summary registration, and runtime components except log files will also be removed from<Profile_home>Directory.

If an error occurs when deleting the summary, check the following logs:<Was_home>/Logs/manageprofile/<Profile_name>_ Delete. Log

For example, in Example 4, you can see thatManageprofiLesCommand to delete the summary named node06.

Example 4 Use manageprofiles to delete a summary

C: \ WebSphere \ nd \ profiles \ dmgr01 \ bin> manageprofiles-delete-profilename node06

Instconfuccess: success: the profile no longer exists.

As you can see in example 4, everything seems to be going smoothly. However, as an additional step to ensure that the registration center has been correctly updated, you can list the summary to ensure that the summary has been removed from the Registration Center and verified. See example 5.

Example 5 verify the result of deleting the summary

C: \ WebSphere \ nd \ profiles \ dmgr01 \ bin> manageprofiles-listprofiles[Dmgr01, 2017rv01, 2017rv02, samplesserver, webserver2node, dmgrsecure]

Note::If a problem occurs during the deletion process, you can manually delete the summary. For more information, seeDeleting a profileTopic.
