Getting the "default portal" into the RAD test environment
|
|
|
| Hi! I'm a newcomer to websphere portal and I have a problem I was hoping someone could help me with. The thing is that I have RAD running and I have managed to get a portlet up and running on a "Websphere Portal v5.1 Test Environment" server configured fr
om my RAD-development environment. But when I start this server I don't get access to the complete "default portal" with all the different tabs (like "Welcome", "My Workplace", "Documents" etc) and stuff, like I think I should have. I did not perform the
installation but I think something is missing on my machine? How can I install this on my test environment now? Any help is appreciated!

| whas the page you get , when you run your portlet on the server.

| I think the Portal test environment gets setup without all the portlets and pages.
In RAD you can click on your portal server instance and under the portal tab you can check "enable portlets for base portal administration".
You can use that to create pages, change themes and so on.
You can also start the portal test environment from outside RAD by going to:
[WAS_ROOT]/bin and typing: 'startserver WebSphere_Portal' (case matters).
You can then set it up which ever way you want.
I found that moving between running in RAD and outside makes it behave a little funny. IMO it's better to setup a separate portal.
Hope it helps,
Raymond

| Thanks Raymond! The "Enable base portlets for portal administration and customization" check box was just what I was looking for!
