Linux: 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 the http://yourserver:yourport/wps/portal format.

If we are not sure what the port number is, use the list-server-ports command to determine the port number. cd WP_PROFILE/ConfigEngine/log. Run the list-server-ports task to generate the WebSphere_Portal_PortMatrix.txt file. For example: ./ConfigEngine.sh list-server-ports -DWasPassword=foo.

Change to the /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/profiles/cw_profile/ConfigEngine. Run the list-server-ports task to generate the server1_PortMatrix.txt file. For example: ./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. For more information on uri.home.substitution, see Configuration Service in the related links.


Select a roadmap

If we have not already selected a roadmap to guide you through the installation and deployment process, look at the available roadmaps. The roadmaps are based on typical environments, such as development environment, test environment, and more. They provide a high-level overview of the installation and deployment process. Each roadmap includes a topology diagram, usage recommendations, and instructions. Roadmaps are available for both new deployments and migrations scenarios.


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

During the configuration process, we might need to following URLs to access different administration user interfaces.

Use the following default URLs to access IBM WebSphere Portal, the WAS console, and the Configuration Wizard:

    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.
