Overview

This topic describes the properties that are used with the configuration tasks during WebSphere Portal installation. Note that the specific properties required for installation can vary, depending on how you are deploying Portal and its related components. Refer to the installation instructions for each component for information on which properties set.

All of these properties are located in the wpconfig.properties file, located in...

/qibm/userdata/webas5/base/instance/portalserver5/config

When modifying values in this file, use a text editor and only change those values that are required for the configuration tasks you are running.

 

How to edit and use properties and values
