I am very new to WebSphere. I have managed to install .war file successfully but application is not starting/running. I found it is depending on Environment settings and other parameters from log file.

Now I have a .car file which on import will complete all settings and my application will run without any issues.

Please help me how to import .car file into WebSphere.

This has been tested with Eclipse Mars 4.5.2 and IBM Websphere Application Server 8.5

  1. Start your Websphere server using Eclipse or from command prompt.

  2. Navigate to %WAS_INSTALL_DIR%\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\profile_name\bin.

  3. Launch wsadmin batch script and login using your profile security credentials.

  4. Use the following commands

    $AdminTask importWasprofile {-archive c:\backup\was_restore.car}

$AdminConfig save

  • WAS 8.5 is installed but unable to start because of error "WCMD0002E: Command "startServer.bat" requires a profile.". How can I import a profile to WAS without even starting it. I already have a *.car created which I can import. please suggest. – Raghuveer Jun 29 '17 at 12:32

See details about importing car files here - ConfigArchiveOperations command.

If you exported whole profile, then to import use: 

AdminTask.importWasprofile('[-archive c:/myCell.car]')

Instead of car files, you can consider also using property based configuration - Using properties files to manage system configuration

  • Thanks for your answer. I have executed the above command. Now I am getting error: com.ibm.wsspi.configarchive.ConfigArchiveException com.ibm.wsspi.configarchive.ConfigArchiveException: fail to deploy application isclite I searched for solution WASPreUpgrade and WASPostUpgrade will help but Iam struck here also cmd: C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\bin>WASPreUpgrade.bat "C:\CCM\Backup File" "C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer" Error: MIGR0272E: The migration function cannot complete the command. I don't understand what is in the command – prashanth Apr 24 '15 at 08:55
  • @prashanth `isclite` is admin console, so it is already deployed. Dont use Post/Pre upgrade commands as they are used for version to version migration purposes. You can try reimport with the `-deleteExistingServers true` parameter, it will replace your whole configuration. Before making any changes you should do the `backupconfig` to have backup in case something goes wrong. – Gas Apr 24 '15 at 12:25
