After WebSphere Portal is configured to work with your database, test the database connection to ensure that it operates correctly.

Prerequisites...

  1. Prepare your Windows operating system
  2. Install WebSphere Portal on Windows
  3. Install DB2 on the same server as WebSphere Portal
  4. Modify database properties
  5. Set up databases
  6. Configure WebSphere Portal to use DB2

To verify that the WebSphere Portal application server is running by using WAS:

  1. Access the WAS console by entering the following in a browser:

    http://hostname.example.com:10027/ibm/console

    ...where hostname.example.com is the fully qualified host.name of the machine where WebSphere Portal is running and 10027 is the default transport port that is created by WAS.

  2. Log into the console.

  3. Click...

  7. Click Test Connection to verify the database connection. If configuration parameters have been changed, you might have to restart WAS for the test to complete.

To verify that the WebSphere Portal application server is running by opening WebSphere Portal in a browser, enter the following URL in a supported browser:

http://hostname.example.com:10040/wps/portal

where hostname.example.com is the fully qualified host name of the machine where WebSphere Portal is running and 10040 is the default transport port that is created by WAS.
