Create profile in WAS 8 (Problem in creating profile as part of installation )

In the How to install WebSphere Application Server 8.0 Beta entry i blogged about the steps to install WebSphere Application Server 8.0 beta. On the last page of the WAS 8 installation wizard it asks you to create profile and it can launch profile creating wizard for you. I did select "Profile management tool to create an application server profile for development environment", but that profile management tool never came up. So i had to follow these steps to create application server profile



  • I went to the "\WebSphere\AppServer\bin\ProfileManagement" directory and executed the PMT.exe tool to start the profile management tool


  • On the next screen select Profile Management Tool and click on Launch tool and it will show you a profiles dialog box like this


  • On this dialog box click on Create button to get Create profile dialog box like this select Application Server as profile and click on Next button and follow next few screens to finish the creation of wizard
