Steps to Install and activate IBM WCM Authoring Portlet

Steps for Installing the WCM Authoring portlet

The Authoring portlet configuration task will automatically create IBM Workplace Web Content Management pages(IWWCM) and install the Authoring portlet and Local Rendering portlets.

Stop the portal server if already running.

Run the configuration task:(\config>)

Open the command prompt.
Run the configure-wcm-authoring task

Windows and UNIX: Run the following command from the <portal_server_root>/config directory:

Windows: WPSconfig.bat configure-wcm-authoring -DPortalAdminPwd=password

UNIX: ./WPSconfig.sh configure-wcm-authoring -DPortalAdminPwd=password

where profile_root is the name of the WebSphere Application Server profile where WebSphere Portal is installed, for example,wp_profile.

• Log out of the portal and log back in.
• Select Web Content from the main menu to access the Authoring portlet.

In order to install WCM components on top of Portal base installation, one should execute this ConfigEngine task:

./ConfigEngine.sh configure-wcm-authoring -DPortalAdminPwd=password -DWasPassword=password

To install personalization portlets:

./ConfigEngine.sh action-deploy-portlets-prereq.pzn -DPortalAdminPwd=password -DWasPassword=password

Note: In a clustered environment, sometimes the authoring portlet does not get displayed. In such cases you may need to activate the portlet manually or synchronize the nodes in cluster.
