WebSphere Portal comprises a framework of services to accommodate the different scenarios that portals need to address. You can configure some of these services.

Set the service configuration properties by using the administrative console.

Each service is registered as a separate Resource Environment Provider with custom properties that represent the service configuration.

To set configuration service properties...

  1. Select the appropriate console.

    • If running standalone, use the local administrative console.

    • If installed in a cluster, use the console of the Deployment Manager.

  2. Start the administrative console by entering the following in the URL location field of a Web browser:

    http://example.com:admin_port/ibm/console

  3. In the navigation click...

  4. In the Resource Environment Providers page, make the appropriate selection.

    For WAS v6.1:

    Select the appropriate node or cluster from the scopes pull-down list, depending on the portal environment.

    For WAS v7:

    Select the appropriate node or cluster from the scopes pull-down list, or uncheck the Show Scope selection drop-down check box and select one of the following options, depending on the portal environment:

    • If the portal is running as a single server, select Browse Nodes and select the node.

    • If the portal is installed in a cluster, select Browse Clusters and select the portal cluster.

  5. 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.

  6. Click Custom Properties.

  7. 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.

  8. When you are done, click Save at the top of the screen under Message(s).

  9. Click Save again when prompted to confirm your changes.

  10. If running a cluster configuration, replicate your changes to the cluster.

  11. Restart the server to make the changes become effective.

You can also set the properties in the properties files and enable them by using the following configuration task:

./ConfigEngine.sh -DWasUserid=userid -DWasPassword=password update-properties

This option for setting service configuration properties is not available for all properties.
