The WebSphere® Portal
plug-in enables you to do the following on WebSphere Portal cells: deploy artifacts
(such as themes, skins, and PAAs), run ConfigEngine commands, and
run XML Access scripts.
The plug-in works with WebSphere Portal
versions 6.1, 6.1.5, 7.0, and 8.0. Both ND and stand-alone topologies
are supported.
The plug-in provides steps that enables you
to automate deployment of artifacts and automate running commands.
- Deploy Theme
- Install PAA (Portable Application Archives)
- Deploy Portal WAR (Web application archive)
- Execute ConfigEngine command
- Invoke XMLAccess script
The following steps provide an overview of the process you
follow.
- Create resources. You can do this manually or run an auto-discover
and configure script. In this step you populate resources. You can
view them in the Resources view. Each resource
corresponds to a deployable artifact (theme, PAA, WAR, ConfigEngine
command, XMLAccess script).
- Define properties for the resources.
- Define components, applications, and environments to automate
deployment.
- Deploy.
