When a WSO2 product starts, it starts all components, features and related artifacts bundled with it. Multi-profile support allows you to run the product on a selected profile so that only the features specific to that profile along with common features start up with the server.

Given below are the different profiles available in WSO2 API Manager.

Tip

Note the following:

  • You can start only one profile at a time.
  • Starting a product on a preferred profile only blocks/allows the relevant OSGI bundles. As a result, even if you start the server on a profile such as the api-store for example, you can still access the API Publisher web application.
ProfileCommand Option with Profile NameDescription
Gateway manager
-Dprofile=gateway-manager

Starts only the components related to the API Gateway.

You use this when the API Gateway acts as a manager node in a cluster. This profile starts

frontend

front end/UI features such as login as well as backend services that allow the product instance to communicate with other nodes in the cluster.

Gateway worker
-Dprofile=gateway-worker

Starts only the components related to the API Gateway.

 You use this when the API Gateway acts as a worker node in a cluster. This profile only starts the backend features for data processing and communicating with the manager node.

Key
Validator
Manager
-Dprofile=api-key-manager
Starts only the features relevant to the Key
Validator
Manager component of the API Manager.
API Publisher
-Dprofile=api-publisher
Starts only the front end/backend features relevant to the API Publisher.
API Store
-Dprofile=api-store
Starts only the front end/backend features relevant
to the API Store.

Note that the WSO2 products platform currently doesn't block/allow Web applications depending on profiles. Starting a product on a preferred profile only blocks/allows the relevant OSGI bundles. As a result, even if you start the server on a profile such as the api-store for example, you will still be able to access the API Publisher Web application.
