Troubleshooting
Problem
The Profile Management Tool (PMT) GUI might not be available on certain operating systems where the required GTK+ libraries are not installed. As a result, you must use the manageprofiles command-line tool shipped with WebSphere Application Server to create new profiles or augment existing ones.
Symptom
Creating new profiles with the manageprofiles tool is confusing, time consuming, and error prone.
Cause
The manageprofiles.[sh|bat] script is difficult to use and has many complex and confusing parameters.
The Manage Profiles Interactive Tool uses your own systems environment to prompt you through the various required and optional parameters. After you are satisfied with your selections, the command is launched by using the manageprofile.[sh|bat] to create the profile. Which greatly increases the ease and speed in creating a new profile or augmenting an existing one.

Environment
Windows or UNIX, 32-bit and 64-bit
Resolving The Problem
The manageprofileInteractive.zip file (attached) contains the executable manageprofilesInteractive.jar, and launch scripts run_manageprofileInteractive.bat and run_manageprofileInteractive.sh.
Once you are satisfied with your selections the utility finishes by calling the manageprofiles.[bat|sh] command-line utility, which is shipped with WebSphere Application Server, passing all selected parameters.
This greatly reduces the time it takes to create a profile for WebSphere Application Server and reduces the opportunity for user errors.
