So I’ve been informed by a little birdie that this likely doesn’t actually work with Process Server but does with Application Server. I haven’t gone throught the steps myself so I can’t comment, but YMMV.

I already use the following link to move WPS 60.0.2 profiles (DMGR and WPS too with keeping all the app conf) http://webspherehelp.blogspot.com/2007/12/steps-involved-in-moving-dmgr-from-one.html
We are working on the installation of a testing and integration platform for WPS based on Solaris with zone duplication, have you got any link about this?

Even for WAS this CAR approach (import and export profile) would work only for single server and not for a ND environment.
I don’t know if this has changed recently with WAS V7 but this was true for WAS V6.
Even with WAS there were other restrictions, not all resources could be exported/imported.
This facility is helpful as long as the shortcomings are known.

Here is the info from the Infocenter on this space:

(1) exportWasprofile
Use the exportWasprofile command to export the entire cell configuration to a configuration archive. The exportWasprofile command does not work between the distributed and z/OS platforms.
Note: Only a base server configuration with single node is supported for the exportWasprofile command.
