Using the following help command for the WAS command file called manageProfiles, we can determine what command options(Switches) are available for use by ANT.
<WAS_INSTALL_ROOT>/\bin>manageprofiles.bat -create -help Function: Creates a new profile Syntax: manageprofiles -create -<argument> <argument parameter> ... Arguments: The following command line arguments are required for this mode: -templatePath <argument parameter>: The fully qualified path name of the profile template tha file system. -profileName <argument parameter>: The name of the profile. -profilePath <argument parameter>: The intended location of the profile in the file system. The following command line arguments are optional, and have no default values: -isDefault <argument parameter>: Make this profile the default target of commands that do not arameter. -omitAction <argument parameter>: Omit optional features. Note: Command-line arguments are case sensitive. Note: If argument accepts a parameter containing spaces, the parameter must be enclosed in "double Note: The default profile template is "default" and may be overridden by the -templatePath switch. Note: Each profile template will have its own set of required and optional arguments. ============ There are a few command missing which we wil add to our ANT script, namely how to specify the Global Security adminUsername and adminPassword for when you want to create a secure profile. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project name="Log View EAR build script" default="buildAll" basedir="."> <echo message="*** BEGIN initial properties ***" /> <property name="HOSTNAME" value="localhost" /> <echo message="HOSTNAME = ${HOSTNAME}" /> <property name="WAS_HOME" value="c:/Program Files (x86)/ibm/WebSphere/AppServer" /> <echo message="WAS_HOME = ${WAS_HOME}" /> <property name="WAS_PROFILE_ROOT" value="c:/Program Files (x86)/ibm/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles" /> <echo message="WAS_PROFILE_ROOT = ${WAS_PROFILE_ROOT}" /> <property name="ADMIN_USERNAME" value="wasadmin" /> <echo message="ADMIN_USERNAME = ${ADMIN_USERNAME}" /> <property name="ADMIN_PASSWORD" value="wasadmin" /> <echo message="ADMIN_PASSWORD = ${ADMIN_PASSWORD}" /> <echo message="user.name = ${user.name}" /> <property name="SERVER_NAME" value="server1" /> <echo message="*** END initial properties ***" /> <taskdef resource="net/sf/antcontrib/antlib.xml" classpath="D:/ant-contrib/ant-contrib-1.0b3.jar" onerror="ignore" /> <!-- <property name="WAS_STARTING_PORT" value="10000" /> --> <if> <not> <isset property="WAS_HOME" /> </not> <then> <input message="Please enter WAS installtion root (default=${WAS_HOME}): " addproperty="WAS_HOME" defaultvalue="${WAS_HOME}" /> </then> </if> <echo message="WAS_HOME=${WAS_HOME}" /> <if> <not> <isset property="WAS_PROFILE_ROOT" /> </not> <then> <input message="Please enter WAS profile root path (default=${WAS_PROFILE_ROOT}): " addproperty="WAS_PROFILE_ROOT" defaultvalue="${WAS_PROFILE_ROOT}" /> </then> </if> <echo message="WAS_PROFILE_ROOT=${WAS_PROFILE_ROOT}" /> <if> <not> <isset property="WAS_PROFILE_NAME" /> </not> <then> <input message="Please enter WAS profile name (default=${WAS_PROFILE_NAME}): " addproperty="WAS_PROFILE_NAME" defaultvalue="${WAS_PROFILE_NAME}" /> </then> </if> <echo message="WAS_PROFILE_NAME=${WAS_PROFILE_NAME}" /> <if> <isset property="WAS_STARTING_PORT" /> <then> <echo message="Setting WAS_STARTING_PORT to value of ${WAS_STARTING_PORT}" /> <property name="WAS_STARTING_PORT" value="${WAS_STARTING_PORT}" /> </then> <else> <input message="Please enter Websphere port (default=10000): " addproperty="WAS_STARTING_PORT" defaultvalue="10000" /> </else> </if> <echo message="WAS_STARTING_PORT=${WAS_STARTING_PORT}" /> <condition property="WASManageProfilesScript" value="${WAS_HOME}/bin/manageprofiles.bat"> <and> <os family="windows" /> </and> </condition> <condition property="WASManageProfilesScript" value="${WAS_HOME}/bin/manageprofiles.sh"> <and> <os family="unix" /> </and> </condition> <echo message="WASManageProfilesScript=${WASManageProfilesScript}" /> <target name="createProfile" depends="deleteProfile"> <exec executable="${WASManageProfilesScript}"> <arg value="-create" /> <arg value="-winserviceCheck" /> <arg value="false" /> <arg value="-omitAction" /> <arg value="samplesInstallAndConfig" /> <arg value="-templatePath" /> <arg value="${WAS_HOME}/profileTemplates/default" /> <arg value="-profilePath" /> <arg value="${WAS_PROFILE_ROOT}/${WAS_PROFILE_NAME}" /> <arg value="-nodeName" /> <arg value="${WAS_PROFILE_NAME}-${HOSTNAME}-Node" /> <arg value="-cellName" /> <arg value="${WAS_PROFILE_NAME}-${HOSTNAME}-Cell" /> <arg value="-enableAdminSecurity" /> <arg value="true" /> <arg value="-adminUserName" /> <arg value="${ADMIN_USERNAME}" /> <arg value="-adminPassword" /> <arg value="${ADMIN_PASSWORD}" /> <arg value="-profileName" /> <arg value="${WAS_PROFILE_NAME}" /> <arg value="-hostName" /> <arg value="${HOSTNAME}" /> <arg value="-isDeveloperServer" /> <arg value="-startingPort" /> <arg value="${WAS_STARTING_PORT}" /> </exec> <echo message="Profile creation complete." /> </target> <target name="deleteProfile" depends=""> <echo message="Deleting profile.." /> <input message="Profile folder={$WAS_PROFILE_ROOT} already exists.
