Prerequisites
Windows: Prepare the operating system
Windows: Prepare the Installation Manager
Windows: Run the installation program


Verify that the installation was successful

Unless selected to install only the binary files, we can log in to the portal and verify that 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
    ConfigEngine.bat list-server-ports -DWasPassword=foo

This command generates the file...


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

To avoid functional errors that might occur in certain unusual use cases, in the WP ConfigService, set uri.home.substitution=true.

Run the Configuration Wizard to finish the deployment

Start the Configuration Wizard and select the option defined in your 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 that we 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, we 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.
