Installing the IBM Script Portlet V 1.3 on the base portal

To install the IBM Script Portlet Version 1.3 on your portal server, you use a portal configuration task.

Procedure

  1. From command line, switch to the wp_profile_root/ConfigEngine directory.
  2. Run the following portal configuration engine commands. For the -DPAALocation= parameter, add the directory location of your scriptportlet-app-1.3.0.paa file.
    • Windows
      ConfigEngine.bat install-paa -DPAALocation=/path/scriptportlet-app-1.3.0.paa -DWasPassword=password -DPortalAdminPwd=password
      ConfigEngine.bat deploy-paa -DappName=scriptportlet-app -DWasPassword=password -DPortalAdminPwd=password -DrenameConflict=true
    • AIX® Linux Solaris
      ./ConfigEngine.sh install-paa -DPAALocation=/path/scriptportlet-app-1.3.0.paa -DWasPassword=password -DPortalAdminPwd=password
      ./ConfigEngine.sh deploy-paa -DappName=scriptportlet-app -DWasPassword=password -DPortalAdminPwd=password -DrenameConflict=true
  3. The Script Portlet must be excluded from Portal Development Mode applications.
    1. Edit the wp_profile_root/PortalServer/config/StartupPerformance/wp.base_TargetMapExclList.properties file.
    2. Add the following line to the file. 
      scriptportlet
    3. Save and close the wp.base_TargetMapExclList.properties file.
    4. Optional: If you decide to enable development mode, run the following portal configuration engine task.
      • Windows 
        ConfigEngine.bat enable-develop-mode-startup-performance -DWasPassword=was password
      • AIX Linux Solaris
        ./ConfigEngine.sh enable-develop-mode-startup-performance -DWasPassword=was password

  4. Restart your portal server.
  5. Optional: For a clustered installation, install the Script Portlet to the primary node of the cluster with the previous steps. After you install and deploy the Script Portlet, restart each of the nodes in your clustered environment. For more information, read Managing portlets in your cluster.
  6. Log in to your portal as the administrator.
