Testing portals on local servers

To test a portal project locally, use a local install of WebSphere® Portal V6.0 Server, or a later server.

To test a portal project on a local server:

1. From the Project Explorer view, highlight a portal project and select

   Run | Run on Server.

2. To use an existing server definition , select

   Choose an existing server and choose WebSphere Portal V6.0 Server, or a later server.

   To define a new local test server, see Defining local servers.

3. Click

   Finish. After the server starts and the portal is deployed, the Web browser that you defined opens to the URL of the portal application on the local server.

4. If you have made changes to the portal configuration, run these steps again. The changes are published to the test environment and a new browser opens to display your changes.

Note:

• When you run a portal project in the local test environment, portlets not available in the workspace are replaced by a place holder portlet.
