Chapter 15. Managing Profiles
Overview
A profile is a set of instructions to use when you run containers in a fabric. For example, a profile might contain one or more bundles, features, or configuration objects that you want to assign to multiple containers.
JBoss Fuse provides a default set of profiles based on the distribution that you install. You must create or join a fabric before you can manage profiles. You can create, edit, and delete profiles. You can also add or remove features, bundles, or feature repositories from an existing profile.
Creating a profile
- In the Profiles section of the Manage page or the Wiki page, click the + icon. The Create New Profile dialog box opens. To create a profile in an existing folder, you can drill down to the folder in which you want to create the profile and click the + icon.
- Enter a name for the profile. Use dash characters to create directory levels. Each dash character adds a level to the directory hierarchy. For example, if you enter
MyProfile-Profile1, the management console creates the directory MyProfile under the main profiles directory and creates the Profile1 in that directory.If you create a profile from an existing folder, you do not need to use the dash character to create a directory. The profile appears in the directory from which you create the profile. - If you want the profile to inherit features, bundles, or other configuration properties from one or more existing profiles, select the profiles from the list.
- Save the profile. The Manage pages shows the profile and the parent directory. You can click the profile name to edit the profile.
Editing a profiles
- In the Profiles section of the Manage page or the Wiki page, click a profile name. The Profile Details page opens.
- Edit the profile properties and save the changes. The management console updates the profile properties and deploys the changes to any container to which you assigned the profile.
Deleting one or more profiles
- In the Profiles section of the Manage page, select one or more profiles.
- Click the - icon and confirm the deletion. The management console deletes the profiles and removes the deleted profiles from assigned containers.
