A usage profile depicts how a particular domain is going to be used. It determines how the templates for various files are customized. Currently, only the customization for domain.xml template is supported. Every domain has a configuration which is stored in a set of files. Any number of domains each of which has a distinct administrative identity can be created in a given installation of the Application Server. Choose an appropriate profile for the domain, depending on the applications that will run on the new domain.
If you create a domain without specifying the profile, the profile with which the domain is created is determined by the value of the AS_ADMIN_PROFILE variable in the asadminenv.conf file. The default value of the AS_ADMIN_PROFILE variable depends on the distribution of Application Server from which the Application Server was installed.
For instructions see Starting the asadmin Utility.
$ asadmin create-domain --user username --passwordfile passwordfile --profile profile-name mynewdomain
In the create-domain command to create the domain, specify the --profile profile-name option explicitly.
profile-name is one of the following case-sensitive profile names:
Specifies the developer profile.
Specifies the cluster profile.
Specifies the enterprise profile.
If a domain is created with the developer profile, clustering and node agent features are not available for the domain. To use clusters and server instances, create a domain with the cluster profile or the enterpriseprofile.
Since the port numbers were not identified, the default port numbers for the properties of the domain being created are displayed.
