Running the Product on a Preferred Profile

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

To run the product on a preferred profile:

Download the product distribution. See Downloading the Product.
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.

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.
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.
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.

Command (on Linux)	Description
`sh <PRODUCT_HOME>/bin/wso2server.sh -Ddisable.analytics=true`	Used to disable the analytics-related components. If you run this command to start BAM on a particular node, the node does not join the task execution. You use this property to start a node that works as a receiver.
`sh <PRODUCT_HOME>/bin/wso2server.sh -Ddisable.receiver=true`	Used to disable the receiver-related components. If you run this command, the thrift server does not start and you do not need to open `7611+<BAM_PORT_OFFSET>` and `7711+<BAM_PORT_OFFSET>` ports. You use this property to start a node that works as an analyzer.
sh `<PRODUCT_HOME>/bin/wso2server.sh -Ddisable.analytics=true -Ddisable.receiver=true`	Used to disable both components described above.

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>`
