Set portal configuration properties
This topic explains how you set service configuration properties in IBM® WebSphere® Portal Express.
You set service configuration properties by using the administrative console. Initially in a default installation, only the most common properties are exposed as custom properties. You might need to add additional properties with key and value as required, or you might want to remove properties that can be used with their default values or are no longer required.
To set configuration service properties...
- Select the appropriate console...
- If running standalone, use the local administrative console.
- If installed in a cluster, use the console of the Deployment Manager.
- Open the administrative console...

- Make the following selection, depending on your environment:
- If running standalone, select Browse nodes and select the node.
- If installed in a cluster, select Browse Clusters and select the cluster.
- Select the service to which you want to make changes.
In the list the services are preceded by a prefix that is made up of the letters WP and a blank space, for example WP ConfigService.
- Click Custom Properties.
- Do one of the following as required:
- Select a property and change its value.
- Select one or more properties for removal.
- Create a new property. If you create a new property, use java.lang.String as its type and do not mark the property as required. Otherwise you will not be able to delete it later.
- When you are done, click Save at the top of the screen under Message(s).
- Click Save again when prompted to confirm your changes.
- If running a cluster configuration, replicate your changes to the cluster.
- Restart the server to make the changes become effective.
You can also set the properties in the properties files and enable them by using a configuration task. This option is not available for all properties.
