Use manageprofile.sh instead of pmt.sh (newbie)

[jame...@raytheon.com]

Hi,

I'm trying to setup a demo that needs to run under WebSphere 6.2 (I think, maybe 6.1). This is 32-bit Redhat Linux.

I have a procedure that was given to me to do the WebSphere installation, and have completed that.

The procedure called for installing WebSphere twice, to create two WebSphere instances (may not be the correct terminology), but it also calls not creating the profile during the installation, then running pmt.sh to create the profiles for the two WebSphere instances after installing the WebSphere software.

However, when I run pmt.sh, I am getting an error, saying that "libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0" was not found, so I'm thinking that maybe I can replicate what I was suppose to do using pmt.sh, but using manageprofile.sh.

Is this true? The reason for this question is I was searching on manageprofile.sh, and I found a page that seemed to indicate that it shouldn't be used to create profiles, but just to augment cloned profiles, or something like that.

The steps in the pmt.sh-based procedure that I have call for selecting:

- "Application server" for the environment type
- Advanced profile creation - checked:
- Profile name: XXXX
- Profile directory: /apps/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/XXXX/profiles/XXXX
- Node name: XXXNode01
- Host name: XXXX.demo.com
- Administrative security: User name, password
- Default ports
- Don't run application server as Linux service
- Don't create a Web server definition

As I said, I'm really new to this, so I don't really understand what some of those are, but could someone provide the equivalent manageprofile.sh command line for doing something like this?

I can probably guess, base on the command line help, but I'm trying to avoid messing this part up.

Thanks in advance,
Jim

You probably don't have to install twice, unless you need two completely
separate sets of binaries. Creating two profiles - two separate
configurations, with shared binaries is typically sufficient, unless
they need to be at two separate fix levels.

manageprofiles.sh will definitely create profiles. There are some good
resources if you just google 'manageprofiles websphere'.

Hello,
Judging by the error you are getting it is very likely that you are
missing some gtk libraries on your system or that they are not
configured properly. Executing the command

$ whereis libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0
should produce output similar to following

libgtk-x11-2.0.so: /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 /usr/lib/libgtk-
x11-2.0.so
If not, you may need to try reinstalling your libgtk2.0-0 libraries.
