Enabling new functionality in the Person menu

Migrating from an earlier version of IBM® WebSphere® Portal does not upgrade the Person Card. To take advantage of new Person Card functionality that was introduced in Version 7.0, you must complete additional steps after migration is complete.

Procedure

  1. Select the appropriate console, depending on your environment:
    • If running stand-alone, use the local WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console.
    • If running in a cluster, use the WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console on the Deployment Manager.
  2. Access the WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console by entering the URL in the location field of a web browser:

    http://example.com:admin_port/ibm/console

    where example.com is the name of your server and admin_port is the port assigned to the WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console.
