Creating the Connection Profile File

You may need to create a connection profile (if you have not already done so during the installation process) to connect to your SIMULIA Execution Engine.

If you have already created a connection profile for this installation, skip this section and proceed to Publishing to the Library.

If you have existing connection profiles from a previous release of SIMULIA Execution Engine, you cannot use these old profiles. They must be deleted and recreated.

  1. Perform one of the following actions:

    • Windows: Click the Start button, point to All Programs / SIMULIA Execution Engine x.x, and click Edit Logon Profile.

    • Linux: Change directory (cd) to the following directory and execute the editcpr file (editcpr.bat on Windows)

      <SEE_install_dir>/<os_dir>/code/command/

    The Profile Editor appears.

  2. In the Profile name text box, type the name of the profile.

    This name will appear on the Connection list when connecting to the SIMULIA Execution Engine.

  3. From the Server type list, select IBM WebSphere 8.

    Additional options appear when this option is selected.

  4. In the Server name text box, specify the name of the computer running the SIMULIA Execution Engine.

    If you will be using LSF with your SIMULIA Execution Engine, do not specify the server using its fully qualified domain name. For example, you should enter seecomputer, not seecomputer.yourcompany.com.

  5. If necessary, change the port number in the corresponding text box.

    The port number provided is the default port number for the application server selected. However, based on your network or system configuration, you may need to change this number. This port number should match the BOOTSTRAP_ADDRESS port number you located in Starting WebSphere and Determining Server Port Numbers.

  6. From the File menu, select Save As.

  7. Specify a name and location for the connection profile.

    All connection profiles should be stored in the top level of the SIMULIA Execution Engine installation directory.

  8. Click Save.

    The connection profile is saved.

  9. Close the Profile Editor dialog box.

    Tip: It is recommended that you make a copy of the resulting .cpr file (saved as servername.cpr) and make it available for anyone who wants to connect to the SIMULIA Execution Engine.
