Using the Customization Dialog to configure WebSphere Portal using WebSphere Application Server
Customization is the process during which you make your installed IBM® WebSphere® Portal code work for you. This topic outlines the steps you follow to configure your WebSphere Portal using the Customization Dialog. Some of these tasks are completed during installation, as directed in the documentation, and other tasks are completed later when configuring the portal.
Before you begin
Before you begin to use the WebSphere Portal Customization Dialog,
it is important that you read the section Tips for using the Customization Dialog. This
provides valuable information which is essential to help prevent you
having difficulty when customizing your portal.
Note: You have several
tools on your system that you can use to determine or verify this
information. Those tools include z/OS and TSO commands, ISPF, SDSF,
and other tools such as MXI.
Important: In order
to use the Customization Dialog, you must know or be able to find
the system characteristics for the system on which WebSphere Portal will run.
