Create an HCL Portal profile
During the installation process, the IBM Installation Manager creates the HCL Portal profile. If you are on HCL Portal Version 8.5 without a Combined Cumulative Fix applied, then you can use this option in the Configuration Wizard to create an additional profile.
Configuration Wizard
On the Configuration Wizard home page, click More Options to find Create an HCL Portal Profile.
Creating a new profile
After you answer questions and provide information about your system, the wizard generates a custom configuration procedure.
Depending on your environment, the wizard generates a configuration process. The following steps reflect all possible steps in the configuration process. The steps do not represent a literal configuration. The steps are provided as a reference.
If you click View Step Command, you can see the task and properties that are associated with each step in the wizard.
