Running the Product on a Preferred Profile

1. Download the product distribution. See Downloading the Product.
2. Open a command prompt:
• On Windows, choose Start > Run, type cmd at the prompt, and press Enter.
• On Linux/Solaris, establish a SSH connection to the server or log into the Linux console.

3. Execute one of the following commands to start a product on a preferred profile, where <PRODUCT_HOME> is the directory where you installed the product distribution and . For more information on <preferred-profile>, see Running the Product on a Preferred Profile.

   OS	Command
   On Windows	<PRODUCT_HOME>\bin\wso2server.bat -Dprofile=<preferred-profile> --run
   On Linux/Solaris	sh <PRODUCT _HOME>/bin/wso2server.sh -Dprofile=<preferred-profile>

   To stop running Cassandra that is bundled with BAM by default, run the following command (on Linux) when starting the server: sh wso2server.sh -Ddisable.cassandra.server.startup=true. In this case, you are recommended to point to an external Cassandra cluster.

4. Once the server has started, run the Management Console by opening a Web browser and typing in the management console's URL. The URL is displayed as the last line in the start script's console and log. The URL should be in the following format: https://<Server Host>:9443/carbon

Disabling selected BAM components

You can disable selected BAM components when starting the server. Note that this method is a workaround to using an actual server profile. We plan to provide this facility through server profiles in a future release. In the meantime, you can use this workaround.
