After you have installed the product on any of the distributed systems, you must initialize the environment before you can use any runtime component or command.
You should also complete this task if you have migrated to WebSphere® Message BrokerVersion 6.1 from a previous version. A profile is provided to help you set up the environment.
If appropriate, you can extend the initialization performed by this profile; for example, for broker or user databases, or for other products that you want to use within the broker.
You must ensure that you run this profile each time you run one of the administrative commands, or start a component; for example, a broker.
