Steps to Install/activate IBM WCM Authoring Portlet

Installing the Authoring portlet

The Authoring portlet configuration task will automatically create IBM Workplace Web Content Management pages(IWWCM) and install the Authoring portlet and Local Rendering portlets.

Stop the portal server if already running.

Running the configuration task:(<PortalServer root>\config>)

1. Open a command prompt.
2. Run the configure-wcm-authoring task:
• Windows and UNIX: Run the following command from the <portal_server_root>/config directory:
• Windows: WPSconfig.bat configure-wcm-authoring -DPortalAdminPwd=password
• UNIX: ./WPSconfig.sh configure-wcm-authoring -DPortalAdminPwd=password
• where profile_root is the name of the WebSphere Application Server profile where WebSphere Portal is installed; for example,wp_profile.
3. Log out of the portal and log back in.
4. Select Web Content from the main menu to access the Authoring portlet.
5. In a clustered environment, sometimes the authoring portlet does not get displayed. In such cases you may need to activate the portlet manually or synchronize the nodes in cluster.
