Siva R Vaka: Configuration Wizard Profile (cw_profile) - Enable Standalone LDAP using configuration wizard workflows

Recently came across one usecase where configuration wizard profile is very useful to configure multiple development workstations.

The Configuration wizard is installed on server1 in the cw_profile (WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/cw_profile) profile .

NOTE : You can find the wizard.war file under /Websphere/ConfigEngine/installableApps)

Accessing configuration wizard

you can start the cw_profile from /WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/cw_profile/bin/

or you can access configuration wizard profile is using first steps

Once we start the configuration wizard profile, you can see the "Configuration Wizard" option in admin console as below (https://sivapc.sivavaka.com:9044/ibm/console/)

Executing the Scripts that’s generated as part of custom workflow

Instruction file (html) named after your workflow

The instruction file provides you with tailored steps for your configuration and your target operating system. Based on the information provided when customizing your workflow, an instruction file is created to guide you in running scripts in combination with other manual configuration steps for your specific configuration goal.

Scripts

Depending on the conditions of your environment, the script files use a .sh or .bat file extension or are simple text files. Use the scripts, along with other manual configuration steps described by your instruction file, to perform your configuration. For example, your workflow may provide you with a script to run a ConfigEngine task rather than you running the task.

Updated properties

Configuration helper files with updated property values entered for your configuration are created when customizing your workflow. You can use these helper files to save time later.
