Bypass IBM Web Content Manager Caching
- 21 Mar, 2017
If you have Basic or Advanced caching enabled in IBM® Web Content Manager, then Web Content Manager caches content artifacts independently of the cache settings that you configured for the Web Content Viewer portlet. To bypass the caching that is set in Web Content Manager, select the option Bypass Web Content Manager Caching. This setting applies to content artifacts that are rendered in this Web Content Viewer portlet only. This feature was added on CF11 for Portal/WCM

- 22 May, 2012
IBM® WebSphere® Portal treats wpsadmin (the administrator) as any other user, just with more permissions granted. With a normal configuration, it is possible to change the wpsadmin or equivalent password through the user interface, just like any other user can manage their own password through the user interface. However, if the wpsadmin account is also used for more than just the administrator, then additional changes, outlined in other steps in this section, must be made to accommodate the change. Perform the following steps to change the administrator password: Note: You can also change the Administrator password, like any other user password, using an LDAP editor. 1. Log in

- 18 Nov, 2016
The general procedure to create a new theme using webdav is: 1 - connect to http://:/wps/mycontenthandler/dav/themelist/ 2 - Copy the original theme from IBM to your disk 3 - Modify some files and them upload the files to the file store. My team and i used this general rule for several projects but recently this kind of procedure failed. When we copy the files back to the file store we get a permission error at the folder metadata I raise a PMR and the L3 support will change the documentation with the following: "Hint: With some WebDAV clients it can happen that you get an error "You need permission to perform this action".

To install WebSphere Portal v8 silently, you are required to provide an xml response file. This can be obtained by using the IBM Installation Manager GUI to record a response file.

A customer askme last week if the we separate WCM code from content has impact on WCM/Portal performance.
My answer was No, there is no impact but the customer need an official response. I opened a PMR and receive the response today :
=======================================
As noted, the WCM best practices are to separate the content from the design.
For example, see the following link: http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/portalwiki.nsf/dx/How\to\separate\WCM\Content\from\Design(http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/portalwiki.nsf/dx/HowtoseparateWCMContentfromDesign) Multiple libraries does not incur additional performance penalties since references are by UUID, which is independent of library.

Due to security vulnerabilities in the Apache Axis V1.x libraries, IBM is removing the Axis JAR file from IBM WebSphere Portal 8.5 effective with Cumulative Fix 12. There is no product code that uses this library, but it has been on the classpath since the initial 8.5.0.0 release. The specific JAR to be removed is "axis.jar." The only exposure here is the chance that custom code, in either a custom theme or a custom portlet, would be using classes from this library. If there is no custom code in your Portal installation that is using these classes, then you will have no problems.

The auditing service allows you to log a set of events into a separate audit log file. All events are organized in groups.

All log messages start with a timestamp, followed by the optional transaction ID, the message code and the event message. Each event message contains the following: - The user ID of the user who has performed the action which triggered the audit event - Additional information about the event itself. Events for actions that run in a transaction are written to the log file when the

There is no path to migrate Portal Server V6.0 to Portal Server V7.0, only Express, Enable and Extend and this situation is not documented by IBM.
I opened a PMR and the lab told me to upgrade Portal Server V.6.0 using WCM 7.0 binaries.
If you didn´t know, in Portal V6, Portal and WCM was the same binaries and if you wish WCM after the setup process you run a command line to setup the wcm authoring interface, etc, etc.
Since Portal 6.1 the binaries of WCM and Portal is not the same, you need to download differen
Portal v7.0.0.2: Content does not replicate to all nodes in a cluster

This problem happened with a few weeks again with a project I was working on.
In a WebSphere Portal v7.0.0.2 cluster, content changes (such as portlet preference updates) may not replicate to all nodes in the cluster until the nodes are restarted.

Portal Virtual
- 22 Mar, 2007
Com WebSphere Portal Versão 6.0 é possÃvel criar e gerenciar vários portais virtuais.
Portais virtuais são portais lógicos que compartilham a mesma instalação de hardware e software. Estes são alguns dos benefÃcios dos portais virtuais:
- Você pode particionar o WebSphere Portal de acordo com suas necessidades comerciais criando e gerenciando portais virtuais adicionais.
- Os portais virtuais podem ser criados e gerenciados de forma eficiente e sem precisar repetir instalações complexas de hardware e software. A administração do portal é simplificada reduzindo-se o número de instalações paralelas. Isso diminui o custo de hardware, instalação e administração.

How To Speed Up WebSphere Portal Server 7 After the Initial Installation
When any version of WebSphere Portal is first installed, there is always a significant load time for each JSP page. The poor load time is attributed to the fact that each JSP page must be compiled the first time it is accessed. To avoid the delay, execute the precompile-jsp command.
1. Open a command line and navigate to the following directory:
C:IBMWebSpherewp\profilebin
2. Execute the following command (all on one line)

2. If you have disabled automatic syndication, it is re-enabled after CF4 installation completes.
ssue 1 - The CF4 installation fails during the post-install-configure step "CONFIG-WP-PTF-CF" if you have changed the Portal URI to something other than the default /wps. The failure occurs during the sub-script 'run-wcm-admin-task' here:
