Add a page from the Mashup Center to the portal

You can add a page that exists in the Mashup Center to a WebSphere Portal server or cluster. To do this, proceed by the steps given below..

If you use widgets on the page that are not installed in the portal, then you first need to make the URLs to them absolute or deploy the widgets to the portal. To deploy a widget to the portal, proceed as follows, depending on the type of widget:

• If the widget was deployed to mashups via the mashup hub, deploy the widget for the portal via the mashup hub as well.

• It the widget was shipped with the Mashup Center or was added to the Mashup Center by using the WAS administrative, deploy it to the portal by using the WAS administrative console as well; when you do this, provide the same web module context as the one assigned to the widget in the Mashup Center.

1. Open the Mashup Center catalog.

2. List pages by selecting List pages.
   If page is not listed, verify you added or uploaded page to the Mashup Center catalog successfully.

3. Select the page that you want to add to the portal.

4. Click Actions -> Add to WebSphere Portal.

5. Provide information about the portal server:

   1. Enter the address of the portal server including the context root, for example http://localhost:10039/wps/.
      To add a page to a virtual portal that is not defined by host name, but by using a virtual portal context, enter the following URL:

      http://host:port/wps/mycontenthandler/virtualportalcontext?uri=model:service-document

      Example:

      http://localhost:10039/wps/mycontenthandler/vp1?uri=model:service-document

   2. Use the current credentials or specify a valid alternative.

6. Provide portal specific details:

   1. Specify a title and description.

   2. Select a portal page as the parent page under which you want Mashup page to be published.

7. Click Finish to complete adding the page.

8. Navigate to the portal and verify that the Mashup page is available.

The theme and skins used for the newly added page might differ from the theme and skins used on the original page. For example, they might revert to the default mashup theme and skins. August 30, 2010 11:15:11 PM
