Tivoli Access Manager WebSEAL
The WebSEAL virtual host junction replaces the transparent and non-transparent junctions.
Enhanced TAI Plus replaces TAMTrustAssociationInterceptorPlus
Installation
The IBM Installation Manager replaces the InstallShield for installation.
The IBM Installation Manager replaces the WebSphere Portal Update Installer (PUI) for installing interim fixes and fix packs.
We can change the context root and URI during the installation. You must run some additional tasks after installation to change the context root for the portlets.
server1
server1 is no longer needed in WebSphere Portal v8.0 and has been removed.
In previous releases, you needed to start WAS server1 before we can start WebSphere Portal. server1 was also needed to access the WAS admin console. In WebSphere Portal v8.0, we can start the portal server and access the WAS admin console directly.
Integrate with IBM Sametime
The Sametime Proxy replaced Sametime Links. Sametime Web 2.0 Contact List has replaced the Who Is Here and Sametime Contact List portlets.
Portlets moved to the Business Solutions Catalog
The following Business portlets have been moved to the Business Solutions Catalog:
- Lotus Notes View portlet
- Domino Web Access (iNotes) portlet
- Lotus Document Viewer portlet
- Lotus My Place portlet
Portal Scripting Interface continues to support JACL
WAS continues to support the JACL v7.0 syntax. Therefore WebSphere Portal als continues JACL support. We can continue using JACL scripts with the Portal Scripting Interface.
Client-side aggregation
The Portal 8.0 and Portal 7.0.0.2 themes do not support client-side aggregation (CSA). The Page Builder theme, which is supported with Portal 8.0, is the primary theme that supports CSA.
