An error occurs when attempting to run the Profile Management Tools on 64-bit WebSphere Application Server v7 test environments

When you click "Run Profile Management Tool" on the Websphere Application Server preferences page, an error message dialog box displays the message "The profile creation Tool cannot be launched. Ensure that the runtime location is correct.".

Cause

The 64-bit WebSphere Application Server, v7.0 test environment does not include the Profile Management Tool.

Resolving The Problem

As a workaround for this problem, use the manageprofiles command to create profiles for 64-bit WebSphere Application Server, v7.0 test environment. Refer to instructions below for creating profiles.

Launch the command prompt and use the cd command to navigate to the bin folder located in WebSphere Application Server, v7.0 test environment installation directory (WebSphere Application Server, v7.0 test environment installation Location/bin/). Then use one of the following templates to create a profile:

To create a secure profile:
manageprofiles -create -templatePath "WebSphere Application Server, v7.0 test environment Installation Location\profileTemplates\default" -profileName AppSrv01Secured -enableAdminSecurity true -adminUserName wasadmin -adminPassword wasadmin -cellName localhostNode01Cell -nodeName localhostNode01

To create a development secure profile:
manageprofiles -create -templatePath "WebSphere Application Server, v7.0 test environment Installation Location\profileTemplates\default" -isDeveloperServer -profileName dev_profile_Secure -enableAdminSecurity true -adminUserName wasadmin -adminPassword wasadmin -cellName localhostNode01Cell -nodeName localhostNode01

To create a development non-secure profile:
manageprofiles -create -templatePath "WebSphere Application Server, v7.0 test environment Installation Location\profileTemplates\default" -isDeveloperServer -profileName dev_profile2 -cellName localhostNode01Cell -nodeName localhostNode01
