Configure WebSphere Portal to use Collaboration Center portlets

The following topic provides instructions for configuring WebSphere Portal to use the five Collaboration Center portlets.

 

Before you begin

Read the following information before you begin.

The following instructions include a configuration task that you run at a command line. The task deploys Collaboration Center portlets, either standalone or as part of a deployed sample portal page. Running the task also configures WebSphere Portal to recognize the presence of the Collaboration Center portlets so that they can communicate with WebSphere Member Manager.

Note To take advantage of all functionality available in the Collaboration Center portlets, your portal must have Lotus Companion Products enabled, and Lotus Collaborative Components configured.

 

Run the configuration task to configure WebSphere Portal to use Collaboration Center portlets

To perform the configuration task, do the following:

  1. Start a 5250 session on the machine where WebSphere Portal is installed.

  2. Start the Qshell Interpreter by entering the following on an OS/400 command line: 
    STRQSH

  3. Change to the directory /qibm/userdata/webas5/base/<instance>/portalserver5/config, where instance is the name of the WebSphere Application Server instance.

  4. Type the following at the command line to run the appropriate configuration to deploy either the Collaboration Center portlets, or the portlets and the sample page: 
    WPSConfig.sh cc-deploy-portlets
    WPSConfig.sh cc-deploy-page

  5. Check the output for any error messages. If you encounter an error, check the appropriate logs file for more information. You can locate information about logs in Use logs.
