Web Content Manager

Set up a content server by installing IBM® Web Content Manager in various deployments to provide robust and flexible environments for web content development and delivery. After you install the content server, more configuration steps must be completed according to the role that the server plays in your web content environment.

About this task

Configuration for Web Content Manager is managed through services that are defined as resource environment providers in IBM WebSphere® Application Server. For each service, you can edit existing properties and add new properties through the WebSphere Integrated Solutions Console.

  • Configuring a web content authoring environment
    Set up the authoring environment by installing the authoring portlet and enabling other features that are required to support the authoring environment.
  • How to configure a web content staging environment
    Configure the staging environment to emulate the web content delivery environment and allow for testing before deployment.
  • Configuring a web content delivery environment
    Set up your delivery environment by installing web content viewers and enabling any other required features.
  • Reserved authoring portlet
    When you use the web content viewer or web content pages, some scenarios involve web content authoring tasks that are accomplished with authoring tools components. Authoring tasks are run through a special instance of the authoring portlet that is reserved specifically for these tasks and is installed on page that is hidden from the page navigation available to typical users.
  • Further configuration options
    These configuration options are available to address installation requirements for other deployment scenarios.
  • Configuring managed pages
    When you create a new installation of IBM WebSphere Portal 8.5, managed pages are enabled by default. However, you can also manually disable and enable the feature as needed.
  • Managing tagging and rating for web content
    When you use tagging and rating with web content, the web content viewer provides extra scope options for the filtering of tagging and rating results. Because changes in the web content system can affect the accuracy of the tagging and rating information that is used by the portal, it is important to keep the scope information up to date by synchronizing the scopes regularly.
