Configure portal light mode

To benefit from a higher performance improvement, you can adapt the default list of lazy applications to your needs. Before you configure the list of lazy applications, you can view the applications that are deployed in the portal and determine which of these you want to configure as lazy applications. To do this...

  1. Log on to the administrative console.

  2. To get the list of available applications, make the appropriate selection, depending on your version of WAS:

    • For WAS v6.1 select Applications > Enterprise Applications.

    • For WAS v7.0 select Applications > Application Types > WebSphere Enterprise Applications.

  3. Depending on your usage scenarios, take notes of the applications that you want have in the default list of lazy applications. Add only applications to the list that are not used by your usual scenarios and that are not required for portal start up.

To configure the list of lazy applications with your additional applications...

  1. Stop the portal server.

  2. Make sure that portal light mode is disabled. To disable portal light mode, change to the directory profile_root/ConfigEngine and run the configuration task

    ConfigEngine.sh|bat disable-portal-light-startup-performance -DWasPassword=password

  3. Change to the directory profile_root/PortalServer/config/StartupPerformance .

  4. Modify the file wp.base_ProfileEarAttributesTargetMapInclList.jacl. This file contains the applications that are subject to lazy load.

    • To add an application, append the line lappend WarFileNameList App_name.

    • To remove an application, comment out the appropriate line: lappend WarFileNameList App_name.

    where App_name is the name of the application.

    Make sure that your list of lazy applications does not contain applications that are either required for portal startup or frequently used. Do not add portlet applications to the list that hold portal services or a plug-in for an Eclipse extension point.

  5. Save changes.

  6. Enable portal light mode. To do this, change to the directory profile_root/ConfigEngine and run the configuration task

    ConfigEngine.sh|bat enable-portal-light-startup-performance -DWasPassword=password

  7. Restart the portal server.

  8. After this adaptation verify that your scenarios are still running.
