If you are not sure what a profile is, refer to this article.

There are a number of options can be be used with the manageprofiles.sh (Linux) or manageprofiles.bat (Windows) script.

• Backup a profile (-backupProfile)
• Create a new profile (-create)
• Delete a profile (-delete)
• Determine if a profile is valid in the registry (-validateRegistry)
• Determine if a profile is valid in the registry and updae (-validateAndUpdateRegistry)
• List profiles (-listProfiles)
• List default profile (-getDefaultName) (this article)
• List profile path (-getPath)
• Restore a profile (-restoreProfile)

The -listProfiles option can be used to list the profiles on the system. In this example, there are two profiles, AppSrv01 and AppSrv02.

~]# ${WAS_INSTALL_ROOT}/bin/manageprofiles.sh -listProfiles
[AppSrv01, AppSrv02]

By default, profiles reside at ${WAS_INSTALL_ROOT}/profiles, so you can just as easily list the contents of the ${WAS_INSTALL_ROOT}/profiles directory.

~]# ls ${WAS_INSTALL_ROOT}/profiles
AppSrv01 AppSrv02

The the -getDefaultName option can be used to display the default profile.

~]# ${WAS_INSTALL_ROOT}/bin/manageprofiles.sh -getDefaultName
AppSrv01
