RRDI: How to configure an already-started application server profile during RRDI setup?
Performing the setup process for RRDI v2.0.3 on a SLES-11 server with WAS 8.5. On the Configure Application Server Profile screen, we are getting an error indicating that "The application server profile could not be started due to an error" when "Validating and starting the existing application server profile..." Then we see this, "CRRRA0061E: An error occurred while starting an existing profile: CRRRA2007E: Cannot start the deployment manager."
We entered all of the information in the Step 1, "Configure application server properties", prompts and then clicked the Validate button for Step 2, "Validate and start the application server profile...". Shouldn't the Validate button in Step 1 have been enabled instead? In my mind, we shouldn't have had to do step 2 at all.
We already have the application server profile started, so how do we configure RRDI to use the already-started application server profile?

Hello Ken,
the RRDI setup application is usually able to start and stop the profile whenever needed.
An error like the one you get makes me think that there is either a problem in the WAS profile or in the interaction with the setup application.
I suggest reviewing the WAS and the setup application (<RRDI_Install>/setup/logs/rrdi_setup.log ) logs.
You can also check if you can start and stop the profile manually.

Francesco, I think my confusion may stem in part from the terminology. In my understanding, a WebSphere profile is not something that can be stopped and started – it is a directory containing configuration information and application binaries. Are you (and IBM Rational) using the term “profile” to mean a WAS node, or maybe a WAS appserver, or even a conflation of the two concepts.
Hello Ken,
sorry for the confusion, I'm not a WAS expert and the terminology I use might not be the correct one.
By "starting the WAS profile" I mean something like this:
/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/RationalReporting/bin/startServer.sh RationalReportingServer
