I am using Rational Application Developer version 7.5.4 on 64-bit Windows OS (i5). I would like to create custom profiles for development. We hav been using RAD 7.5.4 on Windows XP before. On Windows 7 (64 bit) machines the "Run Profile Management Tool" button is disabled.Any help on how to get the PMT to run on 64 bit machine is much appreciated.

Maybe it is too late but you need to do right-click and select "Run as Administrator". You have to do it even if you are already logged in as Administrator.

After a two day struggle I have hit a solution to get the PMT to run on Windows 7 (64 bit). Download the manageProfilesInteractive batch file and run to create and manage profile.

Try running RAD as Administrator.

    In fact, when you do not run as administrator, it's the Delete button below that is disabled and profiles are marked as read-only. My mistake. – svachon Sep 24 '12 at 15:37

I guess that since you're on 64-bit platform, WebSphere AS (that RAD comes with) is also 64-bit, and no PMT is available. That's why I think the Run PMT button is disabled.

Quoting Creating application server profiles:

Supported configurations: You cannot use the Profile Management Tool to create profiles for WebSphere Application Server installations on 64-bit architectures except on the Linux for zSeries platform. However, you can use the Profile Management Tool on other 64–bit architectures if you use a WebSphere Application Server 32–bit installation.

I can't find a relevant information from Rational Application Developer's Information Center.

  • your answer should go as a comment. It doesn't provide any directions on how to get the PMT to run. May be an alternative should be good. – Cid Sep 23 '12 at 02:35

    There's no PMT on 64-bit platforms and that's a short answer. You should revert to using manageprofiles or the batch file you mentioned below as an alternative yet not distributed with the server binaries. – Jacek Laskowski Sep 23 '12 at 18:38

In my case, I installed the Liberty servers on a new installation of RAD 9.1 and apparently they do not come with the "manageprofiles.sh" which disables the Run Profile Management button. To fix this, I installed the non-Liberty servers and then I was able to use the profile management tool.
