AIX: Next steps

The configuration process has changed. We can use the Configuration Wizard to set up the integration with prerequisites, clusters, and more.


Verify the installation was successful

Unless selected to install only the binary files, we can log in to the portal and verify the installation was successful. Access WebSphere Portal with...

    http://yourserver:yourport/wps/portal

To determine the port number, generate WebSphere_Portal_PortMatrix.txt

    cd WP_PROFILE/ConfigEngine/log
    ./ConfigEngine.sh list-server-ports -DWasPassword=foo

To generate the server1_PortMatrix.txt file.

    /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/cw_profile/ConfigEngine
    ./ConfigEngine.sh list-server-ports -DWasPassword=foo


Modify the uri.home.substitution custom property in the Resource Environment Provider

In the WP ConfigService, set the uri.home.substitution custom property to true to avoid functional errors that might occur in certain unusual use cases.


Select a roadmap


Roadmaps


Run the Configuration Wizard to finish the deployment

Then, start the Configuration Wizard and select the option defined in the selected roadmap. Use the wizard to run the configuration steps in real time or to generate scripts. The wizard generates instructions and scripts specific to the environment, and the data entered. We can save the selection and data entered as an XML file. Then, we can load the XML file during a subsequent wizard session to set up a similar configuration on a different server.

If we select to run the configuration in real time, you still have the opportunity to download scripts for selected steps. For example, if only the database administrator can databases, then we can download the database creation script and give it to the database administrator to run.


Default URLs

    IBM WebSphere Portal
    http://localhost:10039/wps/portal
    https://localhost:10042/wps/portal

    WAS console
    http://localhost:10038/ibm/console
    https://localhost:10041/ibm/console

    Configuration Wizard
    http://localhost:10200/ibm/wizard
    https://localhost:10202/ibm/wizard

If we had any processes from other software in the default port range when the installation started, we might have different port numbers than the defaults.
