Setting up the environment
This section shows you how to set up a business process portal
environment, along with portal tools installation.
Software
The following is the software used in our environment:
- WebSphere Integration Developer 6.2
Note: The Portlet Generator also works with the WebSphere
Integration Developer 6.1.2.002 and WebSphere Process Server 6.1.2
environment, but it has some naming deviations.
- WebSphere Process Server 6.2
- WebSphere Portal 6.1
Process Portal
Installation
The following is basic information about WebSphere Portal and Process
Server setup and configuration. The installation details are beyond
the scope of this tutorial.
For WebSphere Process Server, see the
WebSphere Process Server 6.2 Information Center.
For WebSphere Portal, see the
WebSphere Portal 6.1 Information Center.
Enabling the process
integration
You can enable process integration either in a single-cell or
cross-cell deployment scenario.
For more information about the Process Portal, see the
Integrating with WebSphere Process Server
topic in the WebSphere Portal 6.1 Information Center.
Portal tools
installation
Before you can generate a portlet in WebSphere Integration Developer,
you must install the optional Portal Toolkit, either during WebSphere
Integration Developer installation (Figure 2) or the using the Update
option from the IBM Installation
Manager (Figure 3).
- Choose the Portal Toolkit during the WebSphere Integration
Developer installation.
Figure 2. Portlet and
Portal tools installation
- Or, install Portal Toolkit from IBM Installation
Manager > Update.
Figure 3. Portlet and
Portal tools via update
Bug fix: At the time of this writing, the Integration Developer 6.2
(6.2-IFix-20081216_1440) Portlet Generator only generates an empty
portlet, which is a known bug tracked by tordadt 89086. To work around
the issue, you can copy the runtimes /base_v7_stub directory (from a
current Rational® Application Developer SDK base) into your
Integration Developer installation.
