Chapter 3. Working with profiles on
distributed systems
Installing a WebSphere Application Server environment requires careful planning. A major
decision point is the topology for the system. You must consider, for example, whether you
should use a stand-alone server, a distributed managed server, or a flexible management
environment.
Planning for a topology design is covered in WebSphere Application Server V8.5: Concepts,
Planning and Design Guide, SG24-8022. That book is designed to help you select a topology
and develop a clear idea of what steps are needed to set up the environment of your choice.
The purpose of this chapter is to help you build your initial WebSphere Application Server
environment after you install the product. In this chapter, we cover the following topics:
Types of profiles
Planning for profiles
Building systems with profiles
Managing profiles with the command line
