Create a node profile and federate it to the Deployment Manager

Use the instructions in this procedure to create an empty node profile that is automatically federated to the Deployment Manager. Later, you will create an application server for Lawson within this node.

Note: Skip this procedure for a second or subsequent environment that will share a previously created node profile.
  1. Start the Deployment Manager. From the Qshell command line, type

    cd /QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/<version>/ND/profiles/dmgr/bin

    startManager

    where <version> is V85 for WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5.

    Note: If you already created an application server for another Lawson Environment in this same WebSphere instance, then any new Lawson application server can share the same node.
  2. Create a node profile. Type

    cd /QIBM/ProdData/WebSphere/AppServer/<version>/ND/bin

    manageprofiles -create -profileName ProfileName -templatePath managed -dmgrHost MachineName.DomainName.com -dmgrPort DeploymentManagerPort -federateLater true

    where

    ProfileName is the name of the node profile to be created, for example LAWWAS85 for WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5.

    MachineName.DomainName.com is the name of the machine where Deployment Manager is installed

    DeploymentManagerPort is the Deployment Manager SOAP port. The default is 8879.

  3. Federate the profile to the Deployment Manager. Type

    addNode MachineName.DomainName.com DeploymentManagerPort -profileName ProfileName

    where

    DeploymentManagerPort is the Deployment Manager SOAP port. The default is 8879.

    ProfileName is the name of the node profile created above, for example LAWWAS85
