Installing

1. Plan
2. Get the software
3. Install on AIX
4. Install on IBM i

10. Set up a Personalization server on WAS

The IBM installation manager doesn't allow Portal 8.0 to install with WAS 8.5, it gives a error that portal 8.0 expects WAS 8.0.0.3 or later version. To get around this...

1. Install Was 8.5 separately using Installation Manager
2. Install Portal 8.0 using option existing Application server, pointing to WAS directory installed in step 1.

We can run ConfigEngine tasks from...

• A read-only ConfigEngine to manage multiple profiles from one location
• WP_PROFILE/ConfigEngine used in previous releases.

For example, to use the ConfigEngine read-only directory, run ConfigEngine in the ConfigEngine folder that is on the same level in the directory structure as the default wp_profile directory. We can substitute the path to the ConfigEngine read-only directory in any ConfigEngine task in the product documentation.
