Post-requisite steps - Windows

This topic outlines the post-requisite steps after running the HCL WebSphere Portal installation program.


Verify that the installation was successful

Unless we selected to install only the binary files, we can log in to the portal and verify that the installation was successful. Access HCL WebSphere Portal with the http://myserver:yourport/wps/portal format.

If we are not sure what your port number is, use the list-server-ports command to determine the port number.

This generates the HCL WebSphere Portal and HCL Web Content Manager_PortMatrix.txt file. For example:


Select a roadmap

Roadmaps are based on typical environments, such as development environment, test environment, and more. They provide a high-level overview of the installation and deployment process. Each roadmap includes a topology diagram, usage recommendations, and instructions. Roadmaps are available for both new deployments and migrations scenarios.


Run the Configuration Wizard to finish the deployment

Then, start the Configuration Wizard and select the option defined in the selected roadmap. Use the wizard to run the configuration steps in real time or to generate scripts. The wizard generates instructions and scripts specific to the environment and the data entered. We can save the selection and data entered as an XML file. Then, we can load the XML file during a subsequent wizard session to set up a similar configuration on a different server.

If we select to run the configuration in real time, we still have the opportunity to download scripts for selected steps. For example, if only the database administrator can databases, then we can download the database creation script and give it to the database administrator to run.


Default URLs

During the configuration process, we might need to following URLs to access different administration user interfaces. Use the following default URLs to access HCL WebSphere Portal, the WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console, and the Configuration Wizard:

If you had any processes from other software in the default port range when the installation started, we might have different port numbers than the defaults.
