Configure portlets to address content

To configure the portlets so we can address content between them, edit environment variables.

Use URIs to identify, access, and display IBM Connections content and profiles in a portlet. WebSphere Portal uses Piece of Content (POC) URIs to identify and address specific pieces of content in Connections independent of the page used to display the content. Using a POC URI, we can precisely identify what content to display without knowing where it is displayed in the WebSphere Portal Server at the time you generate a link. When a user clicks a link in a blogs summary portlet, the POC URI identifies the blog content. Clicking a link that uses a POC URI displays the blog entry in the Blogs detail portlet on the appropriate page. The evolution to POC URIs provides a greater precision for identifying, retrieving, and displaying content. The URI specifies the identity of the content, not the location of the view of the document. The location of the view to the document is called the portal URL, or URL, and the information contained in this URL includes the navigational state, or state.
