If you choose not to have the Maximo Asset Management Essentials installation program automatically configure the middleware, you will have had to configure WebSphere manually prior to the installation of Maximo. Configuration tasks include creating a profile, running WebSphere as a Windows service, copying the WebSphere keystore file from the machine where WebSphere is installed to the administrative workstation, setting up JMS queues, and so on
