Configure mashup pages in virtual portals

After creating a virtual portal, configure mashup pages for integration of data, functionality, or presentation from two or more sources.

To configure mashup pages, complete the following tasks:

  1. To specify the virtual portal context or the virtual portal host name, depending on what you specified when you created the virtual portal, run one of the following commands:

      Virtual portal context: 

      ConfigEngine.sh deploy-portal-mashup-ui-vp 
     -DVirtualPortalContext=virtual_portal_context
     -DWasPassword=was_password
     -DPortalAdminId=admin_user_ID 
     -DPortalAdminPwd=foo

      Example: 

      ConfigEngine.sh deploy-portal-mashup-ui-vp 
     -DVirtualPortalContext=vp1
     -DWasPassword=was_password
     -DPortalAdminId=admin_1 
     -DPortalAdminPwd=admin_1_password

      Virtual portal host: 

      ConfigEngine.sh deploy-portal-mashup-ui-vp 
     -DVirtualPortalHost=virtual_portal_host
     -DVirtualPortalPort=virtual_portal_port
     -DPortalAdminId=admin_user_ID 
     -DPortalAdminPwd=foo

      Example: 

      ConfigEngine.sh deploy-portal-mashup-ui-vp 
     -DVirtualPortalHost=vp1.acme.com
     -DVirtualPortalPort=80
     -DPortalAdminId=admin_2 
     -DPortalAdminPwd=admin_2_password
      If you have migrated a virtual portal, enable mashup integration for this virtual portal before running the task. To enable mashup integration, run the following configuration tasks first: ConfigEngine.sh ugrade-virtual-portal-for-ai -DVirtualPortalContext context_of_your_virtual_portal

  2. After running the task, restart the portal server for changes to take effect.


Notes:

  1. When you run this task for a virtual portal, specify the user ID and password of the administrator of the virtual portal. To execute the task, the administrator user ID must be a member of the virtual portal with access permission for executing XML configuration interface scripts. This means that either the virtual portal administrator needs access rights for executing XML scripts, or the default portal administrator needs to be member of the virtual portal, depending on which user ID you use to execute the task.

  2. Toolboxes of users are not scoped to virtual portals.

  3. Users can share mashup pages within a virtual portal, but users can not share mashup pages between different virtual portals.

  4. In order to access the virtual portal host name, update the host file with the virtual portal host name. On IBMi, update the TCP/IP host table entries with the virtual portal host name.

  5. Themes used by the mashup pages created within this script are shared between the default portal and all virtual portals. If the task deploy-portal-mashup-ui is not executed, the task fails due to missing themes. If you choose not to run the deploy-portal-mashup-ui task at this time on the default portal, run action-deploy-mmi-theme for the default portal.
